As I grew up my dad, the hired man and the neighbors often said, "let's go to work."  It was said in so many case.  If a tire needed changing it was, "let's go to work and change that tire."  Or "let's go to work and get the tractor out."  Even "let's go to work and get a root beer float" while we're in town.

Today I heard it on Gunsmoke, Festus said that phrase and it just brought back memories.
