Life Gets Teejus` Don`t It (10 Verses) — текст песни (Robison Carson)

1. The sun comes up and the sun goes down,
The hands on the clock keep goin` around,
I just get up and it`s time to lay down,
Life gets teejus`, don`t it?
2. My shoe`s untied, but I don`t really care,
I ain`t a-figurin` on goin` nowhere.
I`d have to wash and comb my hair,
That`s just wasted effort.
3. Water in the well gets lower and lower,
Ain`t had a bath fer a month `er more,
But I`ve heard it said, and it`s true I`m shore,
That too much bathing`ll weaken you.
4. I open the door and the flies swarm in,
I shut the door and I`m sweatin` agin.
I move too fast and I crack my shin,
Just one dern thing after another.
5. My old brown mule, he must be sick,
I jabbed him in the rump with a pin on a stick.
He humped his back, but he wouldn`t kick,
There`s somethin` cock-eyed somewhere.
6. There`s a mouse a-gnawin` at the pantry door,
He`s bin at it fer a month `er more.
When he gets through, boy will he be sore!
There ain`t a durn thing in thar.
7. Hound dog howlin` so forelorn,
Laziest dog that ever was born.
He`s howlin` `cause he`s settin` on a thorn,
And just too tired to roll over.
8. The tin roof leaks and the chimney leans,
There`s a hole in the seat of my old blue jeans,
And I`ve et the last of them pork and beans,
Just cain`t depend on nothin`.
9. Cow`s gone dry and the hens won`t lay,
Fish quit bitin` last Saturday,
Troubles pile up day by day,
And now I`m gettin` dandruff.
10. Grief and mis`ry, pains and woes,
Debts and taxes, and so it goes.
I think I`m gettin` a cold in the nose, (Ahhh Chooo!)
Life gets tasteless, don`t it?
