Dont Get Weary
Uncle Dave MaconDont get weary, dont get weary children
Dont get weary, Im coming from the ballNashville full of big hotels,
Chattanooga full of saloons
Knoxville full of republicans
And Memphis loves the BluesDont get weary, dont get weary children
Dont get weary, Im coming from the ballWish I had a sugar rump,
Sugar by the pound
Great big bowl to stir it in
Pretty gal to hand it aroundDont get weary, dont get weary children
Dont get weary, Im coming from the ballBig bee sucks the blossom,
Little bee makes the honey
Poor man picks cotton and corn,
Rich man see the moneyDont get weary, dont get weary children
Dont get weary, Im coming from the ballDaddy had a big ole gal;
He brought her from the South
Hair so curly on her head,
She could not shut her mouthDont get weary, dont get weary children
Dont get weary, Im coming from the ballPeople on the corner
Watching us go by
Could not see us very long,
Cos Bobtail, he could fly
