Shovels and Rope

Shovels and Rope - O' Be Joyful lyrics

rate me

O' be joyful is that what ya brewin'

does your daddy know that's what ya doin'?

his little girl's got a reputation out to ruin,

she was givin' in the country way.

Machete in a tree stump, hound dog on a chain

wouldn't let ya woman playing the banjo in the rain.

difficult 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's got the magic she got her a coy

she's got a young man that she plays with like a toy

he don't mind when she call him little boy

that's the thing that he enjoy.

She wants to get it all back well it's a little too late,

you want to start all over wants 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 a winning side.

I believe it is "a one-legged woman playing a banjo in the rain"
