No Hard Times

I got a barrel of flour, Lord
I got a bucket of lard
I got a barrel of flour, Lord
I got a bucket of lard i ain't got no blues
Got chickens in my backyard

Got corn in my crib
Cotton growing in my patch
I got corn in my crib
Cotton growing in my patch
I got that old hen sitting waiting
For that old hen to hatch

Yodel ay-ee oh hard time blues

I'm gonna hitch up my mule and
Take a holt of my line
I'm gonna hitch up my mule and
Take a holt of my line
I can't be bothered with all
Those old hard times
(Oh, go ahead and pick one now)

I'm gonna build me a shanty, Lord
I'm gonna settle down
I'm gonna build me a shanty, Lord
I'm gonna settle down
Get me a cornfed mama and, Lordy
Quit a-running round (Here he comes)

I can make more money with my pick and plow
I can make more money with my pick and plow
With my one-eyed mule and my
Good old Jersey cow

Yodel ay-ee oh hard time blues
