Nashville's full of big hotels Chattanooga's full of saloons Knoxville's full of Republicans and Memphis lots of coons Don't get weary don't get weary children Don't get weary I'm coming from the fall Wish I had a sugar roll sugar by the pound Great big bowl to stir it in pretty gals hands around Don't get weary don't get weary children Don't get weary I'm coming from the fall Big bee sucks the blossom little bee makes the honey Poor man makes the cotton n corn rich man saves the money Don't get weary don't get weary children Don't get weary I'm coming from the fall Master had a yella gal he brought her from the south Tied so curly on her head she could not shut her mouth Don't get weary don't get weary children Don't get weary I'm coming from the fall People on the corner watching us go by Could not see us for very long though for we could fly Don't get weary don't get weary children Don't get weary I'm coming from the fall Don't get weary don't get weary children Don't get weary I'm coming from the fall
