Adrienne Young Don`t Get Weary Lyrics

Don`t Get Weary Lyrics

Don’t Get Weary

Uncle Dave Macon





Don’t get weary, don’t get weary children

Don’t get weary, I’m coming from the ball 



Nashville full of big hotels,

Chattanooga full of saloons

Knoxville full of republicans

And Memphis loves the Blues



Don’t get weary, don’t get weary children

Don’t get weary, I’m coming from the ball 



Wish I had a sugar rump,

Sugar by the pound

Great big bowl to stir it in

Pretty gal to hand it around



Don’t get weary, don’t get weary children

Don’t get weary, I’m coming from the ball 



Big bee sucks the blossom,

Little bee makes the honey

Poor man picks cotton and corn,

Rich man see the money



Don’t get weary, don’t get weary children

Don’t get weary, I’m coming from the ball 



Daddy had a big ole gal;

He brought her from the South

Hair so curly on her head,

She could not shut her mouth



Don’t get weary, don’t get weary children

Don’t get weary, I’m coming from the ball 



People on the corner

Watching us go by

Could not see us very long,

Cos Bobtail, he could fly
