I know this forum isn’t about music so I’d like to apologize for this off-topic.
The thing is that my understanding of spoken, or sang, English is very poor so I use to look on the net for lyrics of the songs I like. But there is a song ‘Work Song’ (O.Brown - N.Adderley) that ,as much as I try, I cannot find.
Does anybody know those lyrics?. I’d be happy reading at least the hook “working working but I still ... ... for a go?”.
This song, also ‘Sixteen tons’ and several others, was adapted and sang by Spanish artists -this one was sang by Raphael, who now lives in Miami- of the sixties but the Spanish lyrics had nothing to do with the original. I’ve got it performed by Nina Simone and I love it.
Juan Maria.
