The city blues they strike again Another worker drops his pen He wants to be done And out on the run Away from her curse, he'd swap all his worth To be a man of the earth For 2 or 3 weeks of the year An Easter Bunny brings Christmas cheer He's out of his head and toasting the dead And feeling much worse, he'd swap all his worth To be a man of the earth To swap all his worth To be a man of the earth Words become the man if only he could write a sonnet He'd place his life upon it to be a man of the earth A man of the earth, he'd swap all his worth To be a man of the earth The wife and kids are already there They're polishing his wicker chair it's looking so bleak At the end of the week he'll be needing a nurse He'd swap all his worth to be a man of the earth A man of the earth Words become the man if only he could write a sonnet He'd place his life upon it to be a man of the earth A man of the earth, he'd swap all his worth To be a man of the earth A man of the earth
