Butch Ross – I Like Singing Folk Songs lyrics

You show up late, but I'll show up later
My boss is 18 and I really hate her
I'm 35 and I'm still a waiter
'cause i like singing folk songs

Eleven CDs all for a penny
I look and I look but I can't find any
N'Sync doesn't still the soul of a man when
he i likes singing folk songs

Now you made have heard i came to it lately
the concept at first had somehow escaped me
but I have learned to appreciate it greatly
i like singing folk songs

A wayfaring stranger in the shady grove
mama does the dog bite, no child no.
If I get home before daylight
It means I didn't play enough last night

I like the songs that kinda stay in one key
I don't like the Beatles they sound like the Monkees
I don't care if major Tom's a junkie
i like singing folk songs

I like singing 'bout trains that come off the track
workin' in the mines 'till my face gets black
two lover's at the river, one ain't coming back
i like singing folk songs

The celtic bands play the jigs and reels
the bluegrass boys are outstanding in the field
nobody i know likes the Nields
but i like singing folk songs

you say I'll never get rich, shows how much you know
just yesterday I booked me a great show
25 buck to do one night in Juneau
i like singing folk songs

The great Ruben James on a Halifax peer
The City of New Orleans pulling out of here.
If I get home before daylight
It means I didn't play enough last night

So kick off your shoes put your feet on the table,
bluegrass and blues and we go where they go
I spent 15 hours by a dang winnebago
cause I like singing folk songs

You show up late, but I'll show up later
My boss is cute. But I really hate her
I'm 35 and I'm still a waiter
'cause i like singing
If you can call it singing
my throat is sore and my fingers are stinging
and the bagpipe's roar still got my ears ringing
cause i like singing folk songs
