We Sing Hallelujah

[Verse 1]
A man, he's like a rusty wheel
On a rusty cart
He sings his song as he rattles along
And then he falls apart

[Chorus]
And we'll sing hallelujah
The turning of the year
And we work all day in the old-fashioned way
Till the shining star appears

[Verse 2]
A man, he's like a briar
He covers himself with thorns
He laughs like a clown when his fortune's down
And his clothes are ragged and torn

[Chorus]
And we'll sing hallelujah
The turning of the year
And we work all day in the old-fashioned way
Till the shining star appears

[Verse 3]
A man, he's like a three string fiddle
Hanging upon the wall
He plays when somebody scrapes on the bow
Or he can't play at all

[Chorus]
And we'll sing hallelujah
The turning of the year
And we work all day in the old-fashioned way
Till the shining star appears

[Verse 4]
A man, he's like his father
Wishes he never was born
He longs for the time when the clock will chime
And he's dead forevermore

[Chorus]
And we'll sing hallelujah
The turning of the year
And we work all day in the old-fashioned way
Till the shining star appears
Ah, and we'll sing hallelujah
The turning of the year
And we work all day in the old-fashioned way
Till the shining star appears
