From the garden of eden right on up to today 
D                                                           G  
By the sweat of his brow is how a mans supposed to earn his pay 
G                                         D 
But the VIP's and the rich folks of this land 
D                                         G 
Think manual labor ain't nothing but a Mexican 
G 
Who swam the Rio Grande 
G                                  D 
Manual Labor that old back breaker him

D                                                     G 
Then it hauls you off down the tracks like a run away train
