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
