[Verse 1]
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, all them prophets dead and gone
Keep your hand on that plough, hold on
Never been to Heaven, but I've been told the streets up there are lined with gold
Keep your hand on that plough, hold on

[Chorus]
Hold on, hold on
Keep your hand on that plough and hold on

[Verse 2]
Mary wore three links of chain, every link was Jesus' name
Keep your hand on that plough and hold on
The only chains that we should stand are the chains of hand in hand
Keep your hand on that plough and hold on

[Chorus]
Hold on, hold on
Keep your hand on that plough and hold on
Hold on, hold on
Keep your hand on that plough and hold on

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Keep your hand on that plough, hold on
