Shovels & Rope – O' Be Joyful lyrics
(Does she wanna get it all back?)
[Verse 1]
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 now for ruin
She was givin' them the country way
[Verse 2]
Machete in the tree stump, 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."
[Chorus]
But babe, it's alright
I'm gonna wrap you up tonight
Carry you out right on time
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
She'll skin him like a snake, and hang him up over the gate
Don't believe it?
Just you wait
[Chorus]
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?
(Yea!)
[Verse 1]
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 now for ruin
She was givin' them the country way
[Verse 2]
Machete in the tree stump, 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."
[Chorus]
But babe, it's alright
I'm gonna wrap you up tonight
Carry you out right on time
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
She'll skin him like a snake, and hang him up over the gate
Don't believe it?
Just you wait
[Chorus]
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?
(Yea!)
