D Em
The sun comes up and the sun goes down
A D
And the hands on the clock go round and round
D Em
An' I just get up and it's time to lay down,
A D
Life gets tee-jus, don't it?
D Em
My shoe's untied, but shucks, I don't care
A D
Cuz I reckon I ain't a-goin' nowhere,
D Em
I'd wash my face and comb my hair
A D
Huh, Just too much wasted effort.
D Em
I open the door and the flies swarm in
A D
and when I shut the door I'm a'sweating again
D Em
and in the process, I crack my shin
A D
Just one durned thing after another
D Em
The cow went dry and the hens won't lay
A D
And the fish all goodbyed last Saturday
D Em
My troubles keep pilin' up day by day

D Em
My old grey mule, you know I think the rascal's sick
A D
For when I stuck him on the rump with a pin on a stick
D Em
He humped up his back, but he just wouldn't kick
A D
Theres something cock-eyed somewhere.

Old hounds a'howlin' so forlorn

D Em
He's howlin' because he's sittin' on a thorn
A D
An' he's just too tired to move over.
