With A Two Buck Loan He'll Build Him A Home

His Worries They Are Many His Pleasures Are But Few
          A                                              D                              E7                              A  
But That Don't Worry A Poor Boy His Pappy Had 'Em Too
          A                                            D                 A  
His Livin' Don't Come Easy He Has To Sweat It Out
