Lyrics:

And these are working days and we are working people
Laboring in the sun said ah
Working ways of us working people a better day must come

And these are working days and we are working people
Laboring in the sun said ah
Working ways of us working people a better day must come

There ain't no use you sit down and wait for help (no no no)
Get up off your rump and help yourself

There ain't no use you sit down and wait for help (no no no)
Get up off your rump and help yourself

And willfull ways bring work for once
And some will have to say (yeah)
Oh how I wish, I had to pray which ones we threw away

And these are working days and we are working people
Laboring in the sun (yeah) said ah
Working ways of us working people a better day must come

There ain't no use you sit down and wait for help (no no no)
Get up off your rump and help yourself

Cause jah help those who will simply help themselves (no no no)
Look for rewards from no one else

And willfull ways bring work for once
And some might have to say
Oh how I wish and had to pray which ones we threw away

And these are working days and we are working people
Laboring in the sun said ah
Working ways of us working people a better day must come

And these are working days and we are working people
Laboring in the sun said ah
Working ways of us working people a better day must come
