A man wants to work for his pay
A man wants a place in the sun
A girl wants a man
Proud to say
He wants her
For his loving wife
She wants a chance
To give her kids
A better life
Well, hello
Hello
Hello brother
You can travel
All around the world
And back
You can fly
Or sail around
A railroad track
But no matter
Where you go You’re gonna find
That some people
Have the same things
On their mind
A man wants to work for his pay
A man wants a place in the sun
A girl wants a man
Proud to say
He wants her
For his loving wife
He wants a chance
To give his kids
A better life
Well hello
Hello
Hello brother

A girl wants a man
Proud to say
He wants her for his loving wife
She wants the chance to give her kids a better life
