This is the only line I remember: “We’re workers, not shirkers, not welfare tear jerkers.”
The song goes on to talk about home, family and the Grand Ole Opry. Opry is pronounced with 3 syllables to match family.
It was sung by a guy that sounded like a cross between Moe Bandy and Charlie Pride but he was not as well known as either of them.
I believe it was recorded live. Medium upbeat sound similar to Moe Bandy's Americana.
This song got airplay on a little country radio station in NJ, WKMB Stirling Country, AM 1070.
The format allowed the DJs to play anything they wanted so we got familiar with a lot of songs that never climbed the charts.
Any leads would be appreciated. I perform live and think this song needs to be heard again.
Thanks for looking,
Dave
