Well, sometimes I am happy, sometimes sad,
Thinkin' of the good times I have had,
Thinkin' of the places I have been --
Sometimes down, sometimes up, sometimes in.
On my way -- to another workin' day.
On my way -- and I wish that I could stay.
On my way -- but I have no time to play,
And I hope that I will see you on my way.
And I got me a job in buffalo,
And it's cold when those chilly lake winds blow,
And it's hot when that steel furnace glows;
It was dirty when that steel smoke rose.
On my way -- to another workin' day.
On my way -- and I wish that I could stay.
On my way -- but I have no time to play,
And I hope that I will see you on my way.
Then california called me for a while,
And the sun was shinin' every single mile.
It was gettin' so darned crowded I could cry,
Crossin' land and sea and fallin' from the sky.
On my way -- to another workin' day.
On my way -- and I wish that I could stay.
On my way -- but I have no time to play,
And I hope that I will see you on my way.
And I've been all along the southern shore,
And the people there were lookin' mighty poor.
They were waitin' for the factories to arrive,
And some of them were fightin' to survive.
On my way -- to another workin' day.
On my way -- and I wish that I could stay.
On my way -- but I have no time to play,
And I hope that I will see you on my way.
Yes, I've been all up and down the line,
But somehow my money stayed behind.
A good payin' job is hard to find,
And the graveyard's lookin' for another sign.
On my way -- to another workin' day.
On my way -- and I wish that I could stay.
On my way -- but I have no time to play,
And I hope that I will see you on my way.
Phil Ochs (1940-1976) was an American singer-songwriter known for his politically and socially charged protest songs. Born Philip David Ochs in El Paso, Texas, he began his musical career in the 1950s, influenced by artists like Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. Ochs distinguished himself for his civic engagement and his ability to transform political events into incisive and musically engaging lyrics. His songs addressed themes such as the Vietnam War, social inequality, and civil rights, earning him the moniker "topical singer", a term he preferred over "protest singer". Among his most famous songs are "Draft Dodger Rag", "I Ain't Marching Anymore" and "Here's to the State of Mississippi". Ochs released numerous albums, including "Phil Ochs Sings", "Gun of Love" and "Pleasures of the Harbor", which helped solidify his position as one of the most influential protest singers of the 1960s. His music has inspired generations of artists and continues to be listened to today for its message of social justice and its evocative power.
