When The Day's Work Is Done

from California Bound by Michael Mazochi

/

lyrics

Well the sun is comin up on over the hill
And I believe I’ve had enough, yes I’ve had my fill
You see I’ve been up all night and worked my hands to bleed
Just to turn over that soil and lay down that feed

You know the wintertime is comin’ and I hope that you’ll keep warm
‘Cause it’s a chilly wind that blows out on this morning
You see I’m doing my best but its give and its not take
And I swear that if I could I’d give us that break

-------

I wish that you would mourn me none
‘Cause Ill be back on home when the day’s work is done

-------

I remember when we met I was a young man still
And the beauty that you were leaning on that sill
I told you I was lost and looking for the road
You had the kind of smile that can’t be bought nor sold

You took me inside and we talked all night
Of the virtues of the men who refused to fight
You promised to stay home and I took this job
You see the boys don’t come back after going so far

-------

I wish that you would mourn me none
‘Cause I’ll be back on home when the day’s work is done

-------

You know the mind gets hazy in the early morning hours
‘Cause a man can get crazy when his heart goes sour
But I try to think right and I try to stand tall
But I don’t know why mama you’d need me at all

-------

So I wish that you would mourn me none
‘Cause I’ll be back on home when the day’s work is done
I say I’ll be back home when the day’s work’s done
