Lyrics and translation Bill Anderson - Get a Little Dirt on Your Hands
When
I
was
a
little
boy
Cuando
era
niño
My
daddy
used
to
say
to
me
son
Mi
papá
solía
decirme,
hijo
We
got
a
little
big
land
Tenemos
una
gran
extensión
de
tierra
And
a
lotta
hard
work
to
be
done.
Y
mucho
trabajo
duro
por
hacer.
Go
get
your
marbels
put
'em
in
the
house
Ve
a
buscar
tus
canicas,
ponlas
en
la
casa
Tear
down
your
castles
in
the
sand
Destruye
tus
castillos
de
arena
Come
with
your
pappy
to
the
cotton
patch
Ven
con
tu
papá
a
la
plantación
de
algodón
And
get
a
little
dirt
on
your
hands.
Y
ponte
un
poco
de
tierra
en
las
manos.
Get
a
little
dirt
on
your
hands
boy
Ponte
un
poco
de
tierra
en
las
manos,
chico
Get
a
little
dirt
on
your
hands
Ponte
un
poco
de
tierra
en
las
manos
If
you're
gonna
grow
up
Si
vas
a
crecer
To
be
a
big
big
man.
Para
ser
un
gran
hombre.
(You
gotta)
get
a
little
dirt
on
your
hands
(Tienes
que)
poner
un
poco
de
tierra
en
tus
manos
(You
gotta)
get
a
little
dirt
on
your
hands.
(Tienes

Well,
I
got
to
be
twenty
Bueno,
cumplí
los
veinte
And
I
thought
I
was
a
pretty
big
wheel
Y
pensé
que
era
un
gran
tipo
Left
the
country
for
the
city
Dejé
el
campo
por
la
ciudad
Met
a
slicker
with
a
shady
deal.
Conocí
a
un
tipo
astuto
con
un
trato
turbio.
He
said
hold
up
the
tavern
take
all
the
money
Me
dijo
que
asaltara
la
taberna,
que
me
llevara
todo
el
dinero
Run
as
fast
as
you
can
Corre
lo
más
rápido
que
puedas
If
you're
gonna
get
along
in
this
big
bad
world
Si
vas
a
salir
adelante
en
este
mundo
tan
malo
You
gotta
get
a
little
dirt
on
your
hands.
Tienes
que
poner
un
poco
de
tierra
en
tus
manos.
Get
a
little
dirt
on
your
hands
boy
Ponte
un
poco
de
tierra
en
las
manos,
chico
Get
a
little
dirt
on
your

Ponte
un

manos
If
you're
gonna
grow
up
Si

Para

hombre.

Well,
it's
four
in
the
morning
Bueno,
son
las
cuatro
de
la
mañana
And
the
warden
is
a
calling
my
name
Y
el
alcaide
está
llamando
a
mi
nombre
Says
he's
teaching
me
a
lesson
Dice
que
me
está
enseñando
una
lección
Gonna
send
me
out
to
work
in
the
rain.
Va
a
enviarme
a
trabajar
bajo
la
lluvia.
Dig
that
ditch
boy,
chop
that
corn
Cava
esa
zanja,
chico,
corta
ese
maíz
I
gotta
make
you
understand
Tengo
que
hacerte
entender
Only
way
to
straighten
out
a
guy
like
you
La
única
manera
de
enderezar
a
un
tipo
como
tú
Is
to
get
a
little
dirt
on
your
hands.
Es
poner
un
poco
de
tierra
en
tus
manos.
