I hear handouts grow on trees

which I thought went better with the tone of the rest of the lyrics.

That's what I hear too. I've got a Harry "Haywire Mac" McClintock album downloaded on my phone, sings some songs from the early 1900s.

I think that is sort of the point they are dreaming about the easy life , during the great depression.

if your looking for cheap shovels , short handle shovels go for next to nothing at an auction , no one wants to use one

single wheel wheel barrows also , but man to they get a mint for the 2 wheelers

Wheelbarrows are a worksaver.Easy to move heavy stuff around as opposed to carrying.
I guess those that dont do any work have no use for them.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

they all want the 2 wheel ones

I learned on a one wheel walking planks hauling sand and concrete , so I do just fine with the one wheel type.

I have 3 of the 1 wheel deep tub type , use them for all sorts of things but a lot of firewood handling

last year I widened my drive way moved a lot of gravel a wheel barrow at a time
