Lead Man Holler - Harry Belafonte

Written by：Lord Burgess/Harry Belafonte

You hear me calling at the crack of dawn

Jump up brothers come and face the morn

Forget your aching from the day before

Cause today we're going to do that and more

Lead man holler yo oh ho

All men follow down you go for a working dollar

Yes he holler yo oh ho all men follow

Down we go for a working dollar

Lead man holler yo oh ho

All men follow down you go for a working dollar

Yes he holler yo oh ho all men follow

Down we go for a working dollar

I lead de men the women and the children too

We got a long day out we got a lot to do

We got to cut up stack up and load the cane

You better bring a shawl cause it look like rain

Lead man holler yo oh ho

All men follow down you go for a working dollar

Yes he holler yo oh ho all men follow

Down we go for a working dollar

Lead man holler yo oh ho

All men follow down you go for a working dollar

Yes he holler yo oh ho all men follow

Down we go for a working dollar

Well a working man I am tired and true

I won't ask you nothing that I wouldn't do

Well you pay today is the same as last

Your work's the same just a little fast

Lead man holler yo oh ho

All men follow down you go for a working dollar

Yes he holler yo oh ho all men follow

Down we go for a working dollar

Well I'd like to tell you about yesterday

You work quite well I am proud to say

I want every man to try his will

And make yesterday look like he was standing still

Lead man holler yo oh ho

All men follow down you go for a working dollar

Yes he holler yo oh ho all men follow

Down we go for a working dollar

Lead man holler yo oh ho

All men follow down you go for a working dollar

Yes he holler yo oh ho all men follow

Down we go for a working dollar

I want de men the women and the children too

We got a long day out we got a lot to do

We got to cut up stack up and load the cane

You better bring a shawl cause it look like rain

Lead man holler yo oh ho

All men follow down you go for a working dollar

Yes he holler yo oh ho all men follow

Down we go for a working dollar

Lead man holler yo oh ho

All men follow down you go for a working dollar

Yes he holler yo oh ho all men follow

Down we go for a working dollar

Lead man holler yo oh ho

All men follow down you go for a working dollar

Yes he holler yo oh ho all men follow

Down we go for a working dollar
