There’s no real pleasure, in this life of mine,
No pleasure but meanness, drama and strife,
Lay my wreath in the sand, where the sea meets the earth and sighs,
Well, I’ve been told, “A Good Man is Hard to Find.”
But one not need look if another sun shines and shines,
Well, you’ll ask no questions, but all will answer in time,
And here in this land, where the red dirt lies and lies,
Well, I’ve been told, “A Good Man is Hard to Find.”
Will I wait for my fortunes to be sown?
The life you say today, may be your own,
I’ll write my own stories, tell my tales to be told,
I’ll quicken my own pulse, when I cut off my blindfold.
“Heave ho, A Good Man is in tow,
Well, the life you say today, may be your own.
Heave Ho, A Good Man is in tow,
The life you save today, well, it may be your own.”
