Robison Carson – Life Gets Teejus' Don't It (10 Verses) Lyrics

1. The sun comes up an' the sun goes down,
The hands on the clock keep goin' around,
I just get up and it's time to lay down,
Life gets teejus', don't it?

2. My shoes' 're untied, but I don't care,
I ain't figurin' on goin' nowhere.
I'd have to wash and comb my hair,
An' that's just wasted effort.

3. Water in the well gettin' lower and lower,
Can't take a bath fer six months more,
But I've heard it said, and it's true I'm sure,
That too much bathing'll weaken ya.

4. I open the door and the flies swarm in,
I shut the door and I'm sweatin' again.
And in the processs I crack my shin,
Just one dern thing after another.

5. Old brown mule, he must be sick,
I jabbed him in the rump with a pin on a stick.
He humped his back, but he wouldn't kick,
There's somethin' cock-eyed somewhere.

6. A mouse charrin' on the pantry door,
He's bin at it fer a month 'er more.
When he gets through, he'll sure be sore,!
Cause there ain't a durn thing in there.?

7. Hound dog howlin' so forlorn,
Laziest dog that ever was born.
He's howlin' 'cause he's sittin' on a thorn,
An' he just too tired to move over.

8. The tin roof leaks and the chimney leans,
An' there's a hole in the seat of my old blue jeans,
And I've et the last of the pork and beans,
Just can't depend on nothin'.

9. The cow's gone dry and the hens won't lay,
Fish quit bitin' last Saturday,
Troubles pilin' up day by day,
And now I'm gettin' dandruff.

10. Grief and mis'ry, pains and woes,
And debts and taxes, and so it goes.
I think I'm gettin' a cold in the nose,
Life gets tasteless, don't it?
