Instrumental verse

Well, the whole back-strappers are a dime a dozen And I can get a cup for a nickle Yes, but look what an earful I get and it's all awful too Every time I try to go get me a little tickle So, give me one sweet loaf of bread Just one sweet loaf, I'll fill it up and I'll be gone Yes, just like some of these old floor birds Who fly from dawn to dawn Who fly from dawn to dawn Who fly from dawn to dawn Who fly from dawn to dawn

"Well, there's nothin' we can do about it," said the neighbor "It's just somethin' we're gonna have to forget" "Yes, I guess so," said Ma Then she asked me if the clothes was still wet I reached up, touched my shirt And the neighbor said, "Are those clothes yours?" I said, "Some of 'em, not all of 'em" He said, "You always help out around here with the chores?" I said, "Sometime, not all the time" Then my neighbor, he blew his nose Just as papa yelled outside "Mama wants you t' come back in the house and bring them clothes" Well, I just do what I'm told So, I did it, of course I went back in the house and Mama met me And then I shut all the doors

Heavy and a bottle of bread It's a one-track town, just brown, and a breeze, too Pack up the meat, sweet, we're headin' out For Wichita in a pile of fruit Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout Now, pull that drummer out from behind that bottle Bring me my pipe, we're gonna shake it Slap that drummer with a pie that smells Take me down to California, baby Take me down to California, baby Take me down to California, baby Yes, the comic book and me, just us, we caught the bus The poor little chauffeur, though, she was back in bed On the very next day, with a nose full of pus Yea! Heavy and a bottle of bread Yea! Heavy and a bottle of bread

Buy me a flute and a gun that shoots Tailgates and substitutes Strap yourself to the tree with roots You ain't goin' nowhere Whoo-ee! Ride me high... Genghis Khan, he could not keep All his kings supplied with sleep We'll climb that hill no matter how steep When we get up to it Whoo-ee! Ride me high...

He's young but he's daily growin' Ah, one day as I was walking all alone down by the school wall I saw the boys, they were playing at the ball And my own true love was the fairest of them all He was young, but he was daily growin' At the age of sixteen years he was a married man At the age of seventeen he was the father of a son At the age of eighteen years, round his grave the grass grew long Cruel death had put an end to his growin' Oh, the springtime is leavin' now, and summer's comin' on With ornaments and fans the ladies all pass on Oh yes, once I had a true love, but now I have none But I'll watch his bonny son, while he's growin'
