Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro

 A man is 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

 At the turning of the year

 And we work all day in the old fashioned way

 'Til the shining star appears

A man is like a briar

He covers himself with thorns

he laughs like a clown when his fortunes are down

And his clothes are ragged and torn

Chorus

A man is like a three string fiddle

Hanging on the wall.

He plays when somebody scrapes on the bow

Or he can't play at all.

Chorus

A man is like his father

Wishes he'd never been born.

He longs for the time when the clock bell will chime

And he's dead for evermore.

Chorus
