Practical man,
He said, Train your head,
Your heart, and your hand.
Your fate is here
Not afar,
So let down your bucket
Where you are.


Ballad of Booker T (1953)


Practical man, He said, Train your head, Your heart, and your hand. Your fate is here Not afar, So let down your bucket Where you are.

Practical man, He said, Train your head, Your heart, and your hand. Your fate is here Not afar, So let down your bucket Where you are.

Practical man, He said, Train your head, Your heart, and your hand. Your fate is here Not afar, So let down your bucket Where you are.

Practical man, He said, Train your head, Your heart, and your hand. Your fate is here Not afar, So let down your bucket Where you are.
