Stompin' Tom Connors - Back Yardin' lyrics

rate me

Back yardin', back yardin' thats a chit chat party in the garden

Just a BBQ with a friend or two where you don't give a ...beg your pardon

That's Back Yardin'

I may go broke on a business deal and I phoned up Uncle Lou

He said when I'm back yardin' boy I don't care what you do

Back yardin', back yardin' thats a chit chat party in the garden

Just a BBQ with a friend or two where you don't give a ...beg your pardon

That's Back Yardin'

Well I'm on the phone trying to get a loan and I called up cousin Fred

He said when I'm back yardin' boy ya might as well be dead

Back yardin', back yardin' thats a chit chat party in the garden

Just a BBQ with a friend or two where you don't give a ...beg your pardon

That's Back Yardin'

Well I had to phone my rich Aunt Joan, would ya like to buy some shares?

She said when I'm back yardin' boy I mind my own affairs

Back yardin', back yardin' thats a chit chat party in the garden

Just a BBQ with a friend or two where you don't give a ...beg your pardon

That's Back Yardin'

Old brother Clyde I can't survive if I don't get some loot

He said when I'm back yardin' brother I just don't give a hoot

Back yardin', back yardin' thats a chit chat party in the garden

Just a BBQ with a friend or two where you don't give a ...beg your pardon

That's Back Yardin'

Now don't ya know that business deal came through for me at last

And I really say this back yardin' stuff is really quite the gas

And everybody's on the phone, my realatives wantin' dough

I say it's too bad I'm back yardin' friends but there's one place you can go

Back yardin', back yardin' thats a chit chat party in the garden

Just a BBQ with a friend or two where you don't give a ...beg your pardon

That's Back Yardin'

Back yardin', back yardin' thats a chit chat party in the garden

Just a BBQ with a friend or two where you don't give a ...beg your pardon

That's Back Yardin'

Back Yardin'

Back Yardin'

Back Yardin'
