(Richard D. Staedtler)
Up this hill and down, up this hill again
Up this hill and down, up this hill again
It's a mighty, mighty long road
What ain't got no end.
Well, it's five o'clock in the morning till twelve o'clock at night
It's five o'clock in the morning till twelve o'clock at night
I work so hard to live
I ain't got no life.
If a woman doesn't kill you she'll drive you insane
If a woman doesn't kill you she'll drive you insane
Love's 'bout to get me down
But I sure do like the pain.
Up this hill and down, up this hill again
Up this hill and down, up this hill again
It's a mighty, mighty long road
What ain't got no end.

Someday I'll have some money I won't have to work so hard
Someday I'll have me some money and I won't have to work so hard
Saturday I'll talk to my woman
Sunday I'll talk to my Lord.
Sometimes I've got troubles other time it's misery
Sometimes I've got troubles other time it's misery
It seems like everything bad
Hangs around with me.
Up this hill and down, up this hill again
Up this hill and down, up this hill again
It's a mighty, mighty long road
What ain't got no end...
