| Lord, lord, got those Brown's Ferry blues |
Two old maids a-sitting in the sand,
Each one wishing that the other was a man.
Lord, lord, got those Brown's Ferry blues
Two old maids done lost their style.
If you want to be lucky, you got to smile.
Lord, lord, got those Brown's Ferry blues.
Early to bed and early to rise,
And your girl goes out with other guys.
Lord, lord, got those Brown's Ferry blues.
If you don't believe me, then try it yourself.
Well, I tried it and I got left.
Lord, lord, got those Brown's Ferry blues.
Hard luck poppa standing in the rain.
If the world was corn, he couldn't buy grain.
Lord, lord, got those Brown's Ferry blues.
Hard Luck Papa standin' in the snow;
his knees knock together but he's raing to go.
Lord, lord, got those Brown's Ferry blues.
