Chores - Merle Haggard

When I was young man I worked on my own

You had the big chore of makin' a home

Now that I’m the keeper of all that was yours

I’m head of the family and I’m boss of the chores

Living without you is a chore on its own

I understand what all you did now that you are gone

Sometimes it sprinkles and sometimes it pours

When you’re head of the family and you’re boss of the chores

When I lost you darling, the kids lost a mom

Now it’s me and the children and there’s work to be done

I looked out for the babies and I scrub all the floors

'Cause I’m head of the family and I’m boss of the chores

Living without you is a chore on its own

I understand what all you did now that you are gone

Sometimes it sprinkles, sometimes it pours

When you’re head of the family and you’re boss of the chores

Hey, sometimes it sprinkles and sometimes it pours

When you’re head of the family and you’re boss of the chores
