about

We have great fun singing this Thompson classic at our WinterFolk shows. We’ve omitted the kazoo solos on this recorded version for the classy, brassy tones of Jude Abbott.

lyrics

And we'll sing hallelujah
At the turning of the year
And we work all day in the old-fashioned way
Till the shining star appears

A man is like a rusty wheel
On a rusty cart
He sings his song as he rattles along
And then he falls apart

A man is like a briar
He covers himself with thorns
He laughs like a clown when his fortune's down
And his clothes are ragged and torn

A man is like a three stringed fiddle
Hanging upon the wall
He plays when somebody scrapes on the bow
Or he can't play at all

A man is like his father
He wishes he never was born
He longs for the time when the clock won’t chime
And he won’t be here anymore
