Lyrics
Everything went wrong I'm sorry boys, I've got to let you go We've had some hard times And the long rain, it didn't show Hired hands, I've seen them come and go But you don't come much better Today's Blue Monday I just got a bad news letter This day has come The darkest cloud on our horizon My hands are tied down To that promise note I signed upon Always been this way It's the poor man who gets hurt All you ever work for Is to leave your footprints in the dirt You work your fingers to the bone The deed is done The fruit will fall to someone else's hand That's how the land lies Now we all know where we stand You'll have to walk away Don't let them see you running Today's Blue Monday I should have seen it coming You work your fingers to the bone If sweat and tears were all it took To make this valley green We'd be alright but now it's gone They've taken everything They say it's just an act of God And that's the way ill wind blows You've got thirty days to pack your bags Say goodbye, hit the road You work your fingers to the bone
