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
