Life Gets Tee-Jus, Don't It

歌詞

The sun comes up and the sun goes down The hands on the clock keep a-goin' 'round I just get up and it's time to lay down Life gets tee-jus, don't it, hmm. My shoes untied but I don't care I ain't a-figurin' on goin' nowhere For I'd have to wash and comb my hair And that's just wasted effort. The water in the well just gettin' lower and lower Can't take a bath at six months more But I've heared it said and it's true, I'm sure That to much bathin' will, will weaken you. I opened the door an' the fly's swarm in Closed the door and I'm sweatin' again And in the pros... (a huchh) crack my shin Just one darn thing after another. Old brown mule he must be sick I jambed him in the rump with a pin on a stick He humped his back but he wouldn't kick Now there's something cock-eyed somewhere. A mouse a-chewin' on the pantry door He's been at it fer a month or more When he gets through he'd sure be sore 'Cause there ain't a darned thing in there. Hound dog howlin' so forlorn Laziest dog that was ever born He's a-howlin' 'cause he's a-settin' on a thorn An' just to tired to move over. The tin roof leaks and chimney leans An' there's a hole in the seat of my old blue jeans And I ett the last of the pork and beans Just can't depend on nothin'. Cow's gone dry and the hens won't lay Fish quit bittin' and it's Saturday Troubles are pilin' up day by day And now I'm gettin' dandruff. Grief and misery, pains and woes Debts and taxes, yea, so it goes I think I'm gettin' a cold in my nose Life get tee-just don't it?...
