Seven Long Years
The Guess Who
[Intro] x2 [Verse 1] I been seven long years workin’ on the hard rock pile I been seven long years workin’ on the hard rock pile And if I get to San Francisco You’ll see me wearin’ a smile [Chorus] Sing children sing Sing with all your might You were born to be free but I’m stuck right here I been seven long years workin’ on the hard rock pile [Verse 2] I get up every mornin’ just about the break of day I get up every mornin’ just about the break of day Well I pick up my shovel I work my life away [Chorus] Sing children sing Sing with all your might You were born to be free but I’m stuck right here I been seven long years workin’ on the hard rock pile [Jam] Baby don’t you know I love you They locked me away in this crazy place I’m goin’ outta my mind here girl I don’t know what’s happenin’ baby I been workin’ I been workin’ My hands are bleedin’ baby I been workin’ I wanna come home babe [Chorus] Sing children sing Sing with all your might You were born to be free but I’m stuck right here I been seven long years workin’ on the hard rock pile [Fade] Sing children sing
