Oh how I hurt
My back it is broke
When I start working outside
I begin to choke
Just thinking how aching and hurting I’ll be
And each rake of leaves
Throws pain so I see
Yes see how much older
I so have become
At times like these thoughts
Certainly do run
When I could go all day
And not feel an ache
But now when I work outside
My back it just breaks
