Get a little dirt on your hands, get a little dirt on your hands
Well, I reached twenty-one
Get a little dirt on your hands"
Go get your marbles put 'em in the house
Get a little dirt on your hands, son
Told you in this song, get a little dirt on those hands
He said, "Hold up the bank, boy and take all the money
Get a little dirt on your hands
The only way to straighten out a guy like you
Is to get a little dirt on your hands, get a little dirt on your hands
Come with your poppy to the cotton patch
And I thought I was a pretty big wheel
I got a little dirt on my hands
We got a lot of work to be done
Get a little dirt on your hands
Get a little dirt on your hands, son
I'm wanting you to understand
Get a little dirt on your hands"
I left the country for the city
He said he's teaching' me a lesson
Get a little dirt on your hands, son
Get a little dirt on your hands
Yeah, if you want to grow up to be a big, big man
You better remember what old Whispering Bill
If you want to grow up to be a big, big man
Tear down your castles in the sand
Get a little dirt on your hands
And the warden is calling' my name
And run as fast as you can
"Son, we got a lot of land
Met a slicker with a shady deal
Now he's making' me go work in the rain
Get a little dirt on your hands, son
The only way you'll ever get along in this world
If you're gonna grow up to be a big, big man
Get a little dirt on your hands
Hey, David got to get a little dirt on those hands boy
Get a little dirt on your hands
Dig that ditch, boy, fill it up
Is to get a little dirt on his hands, get a little dirt on his hands
Get a little dirt on your hands
If you want to grow up to be a big, big man
Well, it's four in the morning
