And all that I know is they be telling me I must

Reasons to leave are money
And finding a better work
Reasons to stay are music and love
Reasons to leave are fortune
And fame for what it's worth
The reason to stay is heaven on earth

My brothers are ten, and sisters I have five
Four to one bed is room enough to grow
All that we are is all that I have ever know
And all that I have we'll be there when I'm gone

Reasons to leave are money
And finding a better work
Reasons to stay are music and love
Reasons to leave are fortune
And fame for what it's worth
The reason to stay is heaven on earth

Reasons to leave are money
And finding a better work
Reasons to stay are music and love
Reasons to leave are fortune
And fame for what it's worth
The reason to stay is heaven on earth
