Artist/Band: Tom T. Hall
Lyrics for Song: Too Many Do Goods
Lyrics for Album: Rhymer and Other Five and Dimers [Mercury] [1973]



(Tom T. Hall)



We got too many do goods and not enough hard working men

We got too many hands out and not enough lendin' a hand

We got too many thinkers looking for the answer in the wind

Hey, we got too many do goods and not enough hard working men.



We got poets and prophets and some folks are readin' the stars

If we'd look a little closer to home we might find who we are

We got all kinds of sermons in booklets and pamphlets on sin

Hey, we got too many do goods and not enough hard working men.



We got too many do goods and not enough hard working men

We got too many hands out and not enough lendin' a hand

We got too many thinkers looking for the answer in the wind

Hey, we got too many do goods and not enough hard working men.



We got clubs and committees who know all about wrong and right

Oh, but I've seen some children who starved plumb to death on advice

I appreciate your sympathy and I believe in missionary work

But a little bit of bendin' down and pickin' up your brother wouldn't hurt.



We got too many do goods and not enough hard working men

We got too many hands out and not enough lendin' a hand

We got too many thinkers looking for the answer in the wind

Hey, we got too many do goods and not enough hard working men...
