Description
Original Song by ©Daniel Hammond “Work Always Got Done”
They say the farmer’s work is never done and yet it is the farmer that has time to stop and assist his neighbor. This is the moral of this song. It was great to have my daughter, Leah, sing the harmony on this song.

Work Always Got Done
Original Song by ©Daniel Hammond
Daddy was stringing barbed wire
When the stretcher snapped the line
His hands were chewed to pieces
So his work got way behind
Mama nursed my daddy
Us kids we nursed the farm
Best I remember
The work always got done
Chorus
Best I remember
The work always got done
We all chipped in together
As fathers and sons
We shared each others burdens
We carried them as one
Best I remember
The work always got done
Daddy’s hands had hardly healed
When Mama went away
The neighbors were in need of her
With a baby on the way
So Daddy did the cooking
Us kids took care of the farm
Best I remember
The work always got done
Chorus Repeat
The hardest year that I recall
Our plow mule took up lame
We were in a bind
To find some way
To sow the grain
So Daddy towed the mules load
While Mama she plowed the farm
Best I remember
The work always got done
Best I remember
The work always got done
