What are you listening to? Part XXX - Sexxxy tunes for sexxxy folks

It's an old song from Scotland that was taken over to the USA, the most famous version is done by Leadbelly.
Here's a live version from Bellowhead, same narrative
Fun fact - I saw them on this tour. They got so enthusiastic they literally broke the stage. My dear friend who I went with took a shine to the singer, Jon Boden and made a play for him during after-show drinks. He's a tall geezer but my friend was a good couple of inches taller - an imposing figure to say the least. I remember her drunkenly pointing at him and saying "I...like....YOU!" Boden was visibly terrified:ROFLMAO:
 
Get used to saying no
Turn your back on the deceiver
Who whispers in your ear
'I complicate your life'
Willpower, energy, example
What has to be done is done
Without wavering
Without worrying about what others think
Let obstacles only make you bigger
Get rid of those useless thoughts
Which are at best a waste of time
Don't waste your energy and your time
Throwing stones at the dogs that bark at you on the way
Ignore them
Don't put off your work until tomorrow
Don't succumb to that disease of character
Whose symptoms are a general lack of seriousness
Unsteadiness in action and speech
Foolishness
In a word: frivolity

If you clash with the character of one person or another
It has to be that way
You're not a dollar bill to be liked by everyone
If your character and that of those around you
Were soft and sweet like marshmallows
You would never become the person destiny's ordained
Don't stop to think about excuses
Get rid of them, and do what you should
You say you can't do more?
Couldn't it be, that you can't do less?
You never want to get to the bottom of things
At times because of politeness
Other times -- most times -- because you fear hurting yourself
Sometimes, again, because you fear hurting others
But always because of fear
With that fear of digging for the truth
You'll never be a man of good judgment
Don't be afraid of the truth
Even though the truth may mean your death.
