Fascinating track. Sounds like it came out a decade before! These 60s rockabilly records are so interesting. These guys never got the memo that music changed. Its great.
This was recorded in 1966 but it's still relevant today. Music truly is timeless. It can tell stories that are not only relevant, but true throughout generations.

Jim Nesbitt had some pretty good stuff, had some Johnny Cash flavor with some of his songs.
This is the closest thing for Rock N roll for Nesbitt he simply like to do his impersonation of Johnny Cash.
Cool

Working All My Life
I've been workin' all my life and I ain't got a thing
I've been workin' all my life and I ain't got a thing
Some people don't work at all and they're living like a king
I done worked everywhere except for the government
I done worked everywhere except for the government
But they tell me that's the place you can really roll it in
I'm a-going up to Washington to see my old Uncle Sam
I'm a-going up to Washington to see my old Uncle Sam
I'm gonna say, "Look here, Uncle, man, I'm really in a jam."
Well, at first they wouldn't pay a bit of attention to me
Well, at first they wouldn't pay a bit of attention to me
Now every month I get a check,
I told 'em I was one of them refugees
I've been working all my life and I ain't got a thing
I've been working all my life and I ain't got a thing
Now I'm sittin' on my porch and I'm livin' like a king
