| NEARER MY JOB TO THEE | TYÖPAIKKA, KOHTI SUA |
| | |
| Nearer my job to thee, | Työpaikka, kohti sua, |
| Nearer with glee, | sua kohti ain'. |
| Three plunks for the office fee, | Viimeiset rahani |
| But my fare is free. | välittäjä sai. |
| My train is running fast, | Nyt junaan riemulla, |
| I've got a job at last, | työtä on tarjolla. |
| Nearer my job to thee | Työpaikka, kohti sua, |
| Nearer to thee. | sua kohti ain'. |
| | |
| Arrived where my job should be, | Kun taival päättyypi, |
| Nothing in sight I see, | työtä ei näy. |
| Nothing but sand, by gee, | Vain pöly silmiini |
| Job went up a tree. | aavikolta käy. |
| No place to eat or sleep, | Vain käärmeet sihisten |
| Snakes in the sage brush creep. | liukuvat pensaaseen. |
| Nero a saint would be, | Silmään mua sahasi, |
| Shark, compared to thee. | senkin petturi. |
| | |
| Nearer to town! each day | Peukalokyydillä |
| (Hiked all the way), | vien takaisin. |
| Nearer that agency, | Välitystoimistoon |
| Where I paid my fee. | löydän kuitenkin. |
| And when that shark I see | Kun tapaan roiston sen, |
| You'll bet your boots that he | hän matkan viimeisen |
| Nearer his god shall be, | sua kohti, herrani, |
| Leave that to me. | heti aloittaa. |
