SHOVEL SNOW
SNOW TIME WAS MONEY TIME:
THE MORE SNOW THE PROFIT ALL MINE:
I SHOVELED SNOW FOR TWO NEIGHBORS AND GOT PAID:WHEN I SHOVELED I WAS SO HAPPY BECAUSE THERE WAS MONEY TO BE MADE:
SOMETIMES WE WOULD WALK AROUND TOWN WITH OUR SHOUVELS OVER OUR SHOULDER:
WE WOULD KNOCK ON THE HOUSE THAT HAD FOLKS LIVING THERE OLDER:
WE TOLD THEM WE WOULD SHOUVEL THE SNOW FOR A SMALL FEE:
IT WAS TOO MUCH WORK TO DO FOR FREE:
WHEN THE MINNESOTA SNOW FALL CAME:
WE WERE BUSY SHOVELING THE SAME:
OUR BACKS WOULD GET SO SORE:
WE GOT TO A POINT WE DID'NT WANT IT TO SNOW ANYMORE:
SOMETIMES IT SNOWED A FOOT OR MORE:
I REMEMBER MY BACK AND ARMS SO TIERD AND SORE:
BUT WHEN IT SNOWED THERE WAS MONEY TO BE MADE:
WITH OUR BEST SHOVEL WE NEVER DELAYED:
SHOVELING SNOW WAS NOT AN EASY FEAT:
BUT WE DID A GOOD JOB CLEARING WALKWAYS AND DRIVEWAYS TO THE STREET:
