Let Us Now Praise Simple Men

Sioux Sault Marie, be sweet to me

I ain't the dude I used to be

I curved hockey sticks on the curb in the street

And Sioux Sault Marie be sweet

That's when I was living on college pay

450 a week, 65 a day

These days I would not, but back then I might

'Cause when I look at it now it's the same light

Let us now praise simple men

Without whom the work may never end

My and my brother and all his friends

Let us now praise simple men

And let us not regret our goodness of heart

They told me 'you ain't got the money, boy, don't even start'

These days I would not, but back then I might

'Cause when I look at it now it's the same light

Yeah, when I look at it now, it's the same light
