Lyrics for Song: He's A Go-getter
Lyrics for Album: Me and My Boys (RCA Victor) [1969]
(Dolly Parton)
He's a go-getter, go-getter
When his wife gets off from work
Well, he'll go get her.
Now I've got a neighbor that lives down the road away
His wife holds down a steady job he don't turn his hand all day
I know that most of you will know the kind I'm talkin' about
The kind that rather than have to work he'd rather do without.
But he's a go-getter, go-getter
When his wife gets off from work
Well, he'll go get her.
--- Instrumental ---
There's a group of men in the courthouse yard anytime that you go by
A playin' checkers and tradin' knives and makin' jokes about their wives
Well they'll wait all week for payday and hope that money's plenty
But the wife that worked those long hard hours never gets a penny.
But he's a go-getter, go-getter
When his wife gets off from work
Well, he'll go get her.
When his wife gets off from work
Well, he'll go get her...
