O' Be Joyful

O' be joyful!
Is that what you're brewing?
Does your daddy know that's what you're doing?
His little girl's got a reputation now for ruin
She was giving them the country way
Machete in the tree stump, hound dog on the chain
Wooden-legged woman playing a banjo in the rain
Can't recall the tune, but the song's always the same:
"Jesus, give me strength"

But babe, it's alright
I'm gonna wrap you up tonight
Carry you out right on time

O' be joyful!
O' be joyful!

She got Comanche, she got Iroquois
She got a young man that she plays with like a toy
He don't mind when she call him "Little Boy"
That's a thing that he enjoys
She wants to give it all back but it's a little too late
He want to start all over, want a shiny clean slate
She'll skin him like a snake, and hang him up over the gate
Don't believe it?
Just you wait

Babe, it's alright
I'm gonna wrap you up tonight
Carry you out right on time

O' be joyful!
O' be joyful!

Ain't it good to be alive?
Ain't it nice to be fighting on the winning side?
Yeah, ain't it good to be alive?
Ain't it nice to be fighting on the winning side?
Carry you out right on time
Out on time

O' be joyful!
O' be joyful!...

Ain't it nice to be fighting on the winning side?

O' be joyful!
O' be joyful!...
