King Of The Hill - Cash, Johnny

if you gonna be king of the hill, you can't make it at the cotton mill, if you gonna be king of the hill, you can't make it at the cotton mill, get put on at the harlan mine, be the last one out at quittin' time, you already workin' when the whistle blew, never complain about a job to do, when they say who can, you say i will, if you ever gonna be king of the hill, if you gonna be king of the hill, you can't make it at the cotton mill, you need a good woman to share your bed, to keep you loved and to keep you fed, to help you to face another day, to get you up and on your way, where the golden rule don't rule out true, you do to them before they do to you, watch out for yourself or nobody will, if you ever gonna be king of the hill, if you gonna be king of the hill, you can't make it at the cotton mill, saturday night you go to harlan town, you shoot some pool and you fool around, you watch the girls and you drink bootleg, get starved to death before you beg, you trust in luck till your luck is gone, then jump right in and you hang right on, there may be times you would have to kill, if you ever gonna be king of the hill, if you gonna be king of the hill, you can't make it at the cotton mill, when the last of the coals out of every vein, had long been gone on the northbound train, walk up to the top and if you're standing still, you can call yourself king of the hill, but if you fall like a lot have done, by accident or knife or gun, when they lay you high on the mountain still, you can call yourself king of the hill, if you gonna be king of the hill, you can't make it at the cotton mill
