Too Many Do-goods Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

We got too many do goods and not enough hard working men 

We got too many hands out and not enough lendin' a hand 

We got too many thinkers looking for the answer in the wind 

Hey we got too many do goods and not enough hard working men 

We got poets and prophets and some folks are readin' the stars 

If we'd look a little closer to home we might find who we are 

We got all kinds of sermons in booklets and pamphlets on sin 

Hey we got too many do goods and not enough hard working men 

We got too many do goods... 

We got clubs and committees who know all about wrong and right 

Oh but I've seen some children who starved plumb to death on advice 

I appreciate your sympathy and I believe in missionary work 

But a little bit of bendin' down and pickin' up your brother wouldn't hurt 

We got too many do goods...
