HE'S A GO-GETTER
(Dolly Parton)


Dolly Parton - 1968


He's a go-getter, ago-getter
When his wife gets off from work, he'll go get her

Now, I've got a neighbour that lives down the road aways
His wife holds down a steady job, he don't turn his hand all day
I know that most of you will know the kind I'm talkin' about
The kind that rather than have to work, he'd rather do without

But he's a go-getter, a go-getter
When his wife gets off from work, he'll go get her

(Instrumental Break)

There's a group of men in the courthouse yard anytime that you go by
Playin' checkers and tradin' lies and makin' jokes about their wives
They wait all week for payday and they hope the money's plenty
And the wife that's worked those long hard hours never gets a penny

But he's a go-getter, a go-getter
When his wife gets off from work, he'll go get her

Yes, he's a go-getter, a go-getter
When his wife gets off from work, he'll go get her

He's he's a go-getter, a go-getter
When his wife gets off from work, he'll go get her
