Lyrics Talking Blues - The Weavers
This
one
all
you
do
is
throw
your
head
back
And
open
your
tonsils
wild
and
do
what′s
known
as
the
Talking
Blues
Now
you
wanna
go
to
heaven,
let
me
tell
you
what
to
do
Gotta
grease
your
feet
in
a
little
mutton
stew
You
just
slide
out
of
the
devil's
hand
And
ooze
over
in
the
Promised
Land
Take
it
easy
boy
Go
greasy,
slip
on
the
side
my
friend
Well
now,
Momma′s
in
the
kitchen
preparin'
to
eat
Sister's
in
the
pantry
lookin′
for
some
yeast
Papa′s
in
the
cellar
mixin'
up
the
hops
Brother′s
at
the
window
watchin'
for
the
cops
Drinkin′
home
brew
Makes
you
happy,
hic,
hic
aha
Now
the
rate
ain't
no
use
in
me
workin′
so
hard
I
got
a
gal
in
the
rich
folks'
yard
They
kill
a
chicken,
she
sends
me
the
head
She
thinks
I'm
workin′,
I′m
layin'
up
in
bed
I′m
havin'
a
good
time
I′m
dreamin'
about
her
and
two
other
women
Now
it
took
me
a
wife
about
five
years
ago
We
got
a
little
boy
now
just
about
four
He
gets
up
at
the
table
and
he
slaps
his
ma
Rubs
syrup
in
my
hair,
and
says
ain′t
you
my
pa
Runs
string
beans
up
my
nose
Rubs
mustard
in
my
eyes,
potatoes
in
my
ears
Cute
kid,
yeah
Well,
nobody
likes
the
way
I
talk
So
I
went
out
and
I
took
a
walk
I
decided
I'd
go
to
some
institution
Get
them
to
teach
me
elocution
How
now,
brown
cow?
Right
now,
green
bull
I
was
down
in
the
hen
house,
down
on
my
knees
When
I
thought
I
heard
a
chicken
sneeze
But
it
was
only
the
rooster
sayin'
his
prayers
Thankin′
the
Lord
for
the
hens
upstairs
What
with
roosters
a-prayin′,
hens
a-layin'
Hmmm,
little
pullets
just
pluggin′
away
the
best
they
know
how
