Hard Work Lyrics by Tanglefoot

Dance Like Flames

2006

Have you heard the worker's call?
We do any work that we can
We can stand the hard work, but some will fall
We take our lives in our hands

We sail the seas for the fish and the trade
We do any work that we can
Many men slip beneath the waves
We take our lives in our hands

Chorus:
Hard work!
From everywhere around the world
Hard work!
We come here to build this land
Hard work!
We done the hard work through the years
With our strong backs and our skilled hands
Hard work!
Hard work!

Cut the timber in the snow and frost
Do any work that we can
Many a strong lumberjack was lost
Take our lives in our hands
Spring 'til fall, working on the farm
Do any work that we can
With the big machines that can do us harm
We take our lives in our hands

Chorus:
Hard work!
From everywhere around the world
Hard work!
We come here to build this land
Hard work!
We done the hard work through the years
With our strong backs and our skilled hands
Hard work!
Hard work!

Railroad blasters laid the mountains low
Do any work that we can
Most of those navvies never went home
Take our lives in our hands
In Nanaimo, Hillcrest, Springhill, and Westray
Do any work that we can
We dug up coal and many died that way
Take our lives in our hands

Chorus:
Hard work!
From everywhere around the world
Hard work!
We come here to build this land
Hard work!
We done the hard work through the years
With our strong backs and our skilled hands
Hard work!
Hard work!

We have worked so hard for so long
Do any work that we can
We put our lives on the line to make this land strong
Take our lives in our hands

Chorus:
Hard work!
From everywhere around the world
Hard work!
We come here to build this land
Hard work!
We done the hard work through the years
With our strong backs and our skilled hands
Hard work!
From everywhere around the world
Hard work!
We come here to build this land
Hard work!
We done the hard work through the years
With our strong backs and our skilled hands
Hard work!
Hard work!

Hard work!
We been working so hard
Hard work!
The steel mills and the shipyards
Hard work! (Hard work!)
Hard work!
Hard work!
Hard work!
