O' Be Joyful
Shovels & Rope
Does she wanna get it all back?
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 out for ruin
She was givin' them the country away
Machete in the tree stub, 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.
Just 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?
