Lyrics Shenandoah – Hey Mister (I Need The Job)
Text:
Hey Mister, I’m a workin’ man
And the sign says that you need one
I ain’t too proud to say
There’s nothin’ I won’t do
‘Cause there’s a lady waitin’
I know you know what I mean
If you ever had someone depend on you
Hey Mister, I can work all day
I don’t care about the weather
Just take a look at these hands
I’m as strong as you
Hey Mister, I need this job
‘Cause I told her that I’d get one
I know you know what I mean
If you ever had someone depend on you
Wanna build her a mountain
Startin’ with a grain of sand
Wanna build us a castle
In the middle of the Promised Land
Got a little one comin’, he’s gonna look up to me
We’re gonna have a family
Hey Mister, I know I’m young
But there’s a man inside me
If you look back at your life
You had to start somewhere too
Hey Mister, I need this job
‘Cause I told her that I’d get one
I know you know what I mean
If you ever had someone love you
Wanna build her a mountain
Startin’ with a grain of sand
Wanna build us a castle
In the middle of the Promised Land
Got a little one comin’, he’s gonna look up to me
We’re gonna have a family
Hey Mister, I need this job
‘Cause there’s a lady waitin’
I know you know what I mean
If you ever had someone depend on you
I know you know what I mean
If you ever had someone love you
