paul robeson - lazy bones lyrics

lazy bones lyrics
[verse 1]
lazy bones, sleepin’ in the sun
how you ’xpect to get your day’s work done?
never get your day’s work done
sleepin’ in the noon day sun

[verse 2]
lazy bones, sleepin’ in the shade
how you ‘xpect to get your cornmeal made?
never get your cornmeal made (no son)
sleepin’ in the evenin’ shade

[verse 3]
when taters need sprayin’
i bet you keep prayin’
the bugs fall off of the vine
and when you go fishin’
i bet you keep wishin’
the fish won’t grab at your line

[verse 4]
lazy bones, loafin’ through the day
how you ’xpect to make a dime that way?
nevеr make a dime that way (now looky herе)
you better mind the words i say
[break]
as long as there’s chicken gravy on your right, i suppose everything is nice. as long as there’s a watermelon on the vine, everything is fine. you got no time to work, you got no time to play. busy doin’ nothin’ all the little long days. and i knows you won’t ever change no matter what i say. you’re just made that way

[verse 2]
lazy bones, sleepin’ in the shade
how you ‘xpect to get your cornmeal made?
never get your cornmeal made
sleepin’ in the evenin’ shade

[verse 3]
when taters need sprayin’
i bet you keep prayin’
the bugs fall off of the vine
and when you go fishin’
i bet you keep wishin’
the fish won’t grab at your line

[verse 4]
lazy bones, loafin’ through the day
how you ‘xpect to make a dime that way?
you’ll never make a dime that way (ough)

[outro]
well looky here. he never heard a word i said
