I Took the Job

Arriving with the storm
with forty dollars and a worn out bike.

Photographed in a Stetson hat
for the union 535.

I took the job, I took the job.
I took the job, I took the job.

Got a tent and an iron bed
An old school table and a rolling chair.

I swept and washed it out.
I said, I swept and washed it out.

I took the job, I took the job.
I took the job, I took the job.

I’ll take the cash right now.
I took the job, I took the job; I took the job, I took the job …
