O' Be Joyful |
| O' be joyful! |
| Is that what you’re brewing? |
| Does your daddy know that’s what you’re doing? |
| His little girl’s got a reputation now for ruin |
| She was givin' them the country way |
| Machete in the tree stump, hound dog on the chain |
| Wooden-legged woman playin' a banjo in the rain |
| Can’t recall the tune, but the song’s always the same: |
| «Jesus, give me strength.» |
| But babe, it’s alright |
| I’m gonna wrap you up tonight |
| Carry you out right on time |
| Well she got Comanche, she got Iroquois |
| She got a young man that she plays with like a toy |
| He don’t mind when she call him «Little Boy» |
| That’s a thing that he enjoys |
| She wants to give it all back but it’s a little too late |
| He want to start all over, want a shiny clean slate |
| She’ll skin him like a snake, and hang him up over the gate |
| Don’t believe it? |
| Just you wait |
| But babe, it’s alright |
| I’m gonna wrap you up tonight |
| Carry you out right on time |
| Hey, alright |
| Ain’t it good to be alive? |
| Ain’t it nice to be fightin' on the winnin' side? |
| (Yea!) |
