O' Be Joyful

Lyrics

O' be joyful, is that what ya brewin'
 Does your daddy know that's what ya doin'?
 His little girl's got her reputation out to ruin
 She was givin' them the country wave
 Machete in a tree stump, hound dog on a chain
 Wooden legged woman playin' the banjo in the rain
 Can't recall the tune, but the song's always the same
 "Jesus, give me strength"
 Babe, it's alright
 I'm gonna wrap you up tonight
 Carry you out right on time
 ♪
 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 enjoy
 She wants to get it all back, well it's a little too late
 You want to start all over, want a shiny clean slate
 She'll skin 'em like snake and hang 'em up over the gate
 You don't believe it, just you wait
 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 winning side
 Yeah
 
 O' be joyful, is that what ya brewin'
 Does your daddy know that's what ya doin'?
 His little girl's got her reputation out to ruin
 She was givin' them the country wave
 Machete in a tree stump, hound dog on a chain
 Wooden legged woman playin' the banjo in the rain
 Can't recall the tune, but the song's always the same
 "Jesus, give me strength"
 Babe, it's alright
 I'm gonna wrap you up tonight
