Don't put these curses on me oh no you don't 
Don't put these curses on 
Don't put these curses on me oh no you don't 
Don't put these curses on 

Don't curse me with the love of money 
It will burn me up and waste my time 
Don't curse me with the love of intellect 
You know it knots up my brain and makes me think that 
you know more than I do 

Don't put these curses on me oh no you don't 
Don't put these curses on 
Don't put these curses on me oh no you don't 
Don't put these curses on 

Don't curse me with the idea 
that work is good and holy 
It only took you to the grave with a bitter heart 
Don't curse me with this patriotic love 
of parents, ideas, country and wife 
You invite war into your home 

Don't put these curses on me oh no you don't 
Don't put these curses on 
Don't put these curses on me oh no you don't 
Don't put these curses on 

Don't put these curses on me oh no you don't 
Don't put these curses on 
Don't put these curses, these curses on me oh no you don't 
Don't put these curses on
