Lead Man Holler Lyrics - Harry Belafonte

You hear me calling at the crack of dawn 

Jump up brothers come and face the morn 

Forget your aching from the day before 

'Cause today we're goin' to do that and more 

Lead man holler, yo oh ho 

All men follow, down you go for a working dollar 

Yes he holler yo oh ho, all men follow 

Down we go for a working dollar 

I want de men, the women and the children too 

We got a long day out we got a lot to do 

We got to cut up, stack up and load the cane 

You better bring a shawl 'cause it look like rain

Lead man holler, yo oh ho 

All men follow, down you go for a working dollar 

Yes he holler yo oh ho, all men follow 

Down we go for a working dollar 

Well a working man I am tired and true 

I won't ask you nothin' that I wouldn't do 

Well you pay today is the same as last 

Your work's the same, just a little fast 

Lead man holler, yo oh ho 

All men follow, down you go for a working dollar 

Yes he holler yo oh ho, all men follow 

Down we go for a working dollar 

Well I'd like to tell you bout yesterday 

You work quite well, I am proud to say 

I want ev'ry man to try his will 

And make yesterday look like he was standing still
