[Introduction - dueling banjos] verse 1] My daddy showed me early How to work Out in the corn and fields of dirt. Digging trenches for electric lines Mowing lawns and walking beans It takes work for dreams To come true. He said we need to work Till the workin’s done. [chorus] He said, Let me show you how it’s done. Old son. Get up and grind can’t be wasting any time. Don’t be losing daylight we’re doing it in the night We won’t stop till we get it right And the work is done He said, Let me show you how it’s done, Old Son. [verse 2] My deacon showed me young How to serve’n still have some fun. Take care of the seniors in Our church. If we were shoveling walks Or putting on roofs There was always something These old hands should do we need to work Till the workin’s done. [chorus] He said, Let me show you how it’s done. Old son. Get up and grind can’t be wasting any time. Don’t be losing daylight we’re doing it in the night We won’t stop till we get it right And the work is done He said, Let me show you how it’s done, Old Son. [country guitar solo] [Verse 3] My kids are growing up keep’em from Going astray. You gotta do more than pray To raise’em up the right way To be better than everyone we need to work Till the workin’s done. [chorus] He said, Let me show you how it’s done. Old son. Get up and grind can’t be wasting any time. Don’t be losing daylight we’re doing it in the night We won’t stop till we get it right And the work is done He said, Let me show you how it’s done, Old Son. [conclusion] we need to work Till the workin’s done. we need to work Till the workin’s done. That my friend Is how this is done, Old Son.
