Don't Get Weary Lyrics - Adrienne Young

Dont Get Weary 

Uncle Dave Macon 

Dont get weary, dont get weary children 

Dont get weary, Im coming from the ball 

Nashville full of big hotels, 

Chattanooga full of saloons 

Knoxville full of republicans 

And Memphis loves the Blues 

Dont get weary, dont get weary children 

Dont get weary, Im 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 

Dont get weary, dont get weary children 

Dont get weary, Im 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 

Dont get weary, dont get weary children 

Dont get weary, Im 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 

Dont get weary, dont get weary children 

Dont get weary, Im coming from the ball 

People on the corner 

Watching us go by 

Could not see us very long, 

Cos Bobtail, he could fly
