Oh yeah

Let us do
When I heard the prophecy
Let us do all the time
I've been, let us do
When I heard the prophecy
Let us do all the time
I been

What's the matter John?
I don't know Bill
Can't go back to that broad
Them gotcha on the back, they're still rollin'
Them gotcha on the back, they're still rollin'
Them gotcha on the back, them gotcha on the back
No boy, I got some of the best, they're still rollin'

Let us do
When I heard the prophecy
Let us do all the time
I've been, let us do
When I heard the prophecy
Let us do all the time
I been

Let us do
When I heard the prophecy
Let us do all the time
I've been, let us do
When I heard the prophecy
Let us do all the time

My Lord
No more
My Lord
Lord I never

My Lord
No more
Lord, my
No more

Let us do
When I heard the prophecy
Let us do all the time
I've been, let us do
When I heard the prophecy
Let us do all the time
I been

Let us do
When I heard the prophecy
Let us do all the time
I've been, let us do
When I heard the prophecy
Let us do all the time
I been

Let us do
When I heard the prophecy
Let us do all the time
I've been, let us do




When I heard the prophecy
Let us do all the time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cee-Roo's song "Work Song" feature a sparse but powerful set of lines that speak to the struggles of laborers and workers across the world. The opening lines, "Let us do / When I heard the prophecy / Let us do all the time / I've been, let us do," suggest a sense of purpose and determination in the face of adversity. This opener seems to be a call to action for the workers, urging them to keep going despite the difficulties they face.


The next section of the song shifts to a conversation between two men named John and Bill, with John expressing despair and defeat, saying he "can't go back to that broad" and is stuck with the burdens on his back. Bill, however, offers a glimmer of hope, saying he has some of the "best" laborers that are still "rollin'" or persevering. This conversation serves to highlight the contrast between despair and perseverance, and perhaps offers a sense of community and mutual support for those engaged in labor.


The final lines of the song repeat the earlier chorus of "Let us do," but this time are interspersed with the phrase "My Lord, no more" and a sense of finality and resignation. Overall, the lyrics to "Work Song" suggest that despite the difficulties faced by workers, there is a sense of purpose, community, and determination that propels them forward.
