Work Songs

These songs were sung while slaves were at work. These songs told stories and helped them get through thier hard days of work.

Tell what the hobo told the bum,
If you get any corn-bread save me some.

A nickle's worth of bacon, and a dime's worth of lard,
I would buy more but the time's too hard.

work-smart

The idea of dressing yourself in an acceptable and appropriate way at work, no matter what mood you're in, what the weather is like and what your mates wear. Many people do not understand the effects of this, it can have a detrimental effect on your ability to get involved with the 'work group', as such it is imperative one dresses appropriately
