My Ole Man, Do The Hustle

CATEGORY

Views: 893

My ole man ahead of his time

a junk man long before Sanford and son

we even lived on a street named Sanford

My dad dead and gone over 20 years

His love for us so strong still here

Air conditon compressors and miscellaneous

metal laying around in the woods he had long left behind

My brother and I to do somethin with the land

with Gods blessing we give a lending hand

Hard work gettin to that copper but dad taught us well

if you see our faaces you could really tell

We took our load of scrap iron copper and aluminum

30 miles away to the recycle place

Our ole man still gifting us

after all these many years

946 dollars for our efforts its so clear

Do the hustle, my ole man I love so dear

I can definitely relate mrmelody7, my pops was a pack rat, he made at least 75% of what he needed from the ground up. He was a welder. It'll be only a year on 5/25 since his passing. I found out why he had so much stuff. because in his days they weren't allowed to have anything so when it got to a point where things had changed, he literally kept everything. He was 82.
