And the living is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your mama's good lookin'
So hush little baby now

One of these mornin's
You're gonna rise up singin'
You're gonna spread your wings
And take to the sky
But til that mornin'
Ain't nothin' can harm you
With your daddy

Girls
I love girls
There all over this world
Hah!
Like to look at ya
Well I'm gonna tell you about girls.
They're all over this world
Some have beautiful shapes
I wanna live to be ninety-eight
Yeah, somebody to talk to
And I like to look at you
Yeah, somebody to talk to
And I love to look at you
'Cause you're a real fine girl
Last week in Paree
I was hanging down with Suzee
That crazy French magazine
She turned me backwards to a new scene
'Cause she was somebody to talk to
And to tell my troubles to
She was somebody that's so fine
Worth my looking in to
She's a beautiful girl, girl, girl
Summertime
Oh, and the living is easy
The girls are jumping
And the cotton is high
Your daddy is rich
And your mama's good looking
So hush little baby
And don't you cry
'Cause you're a real fine girl

Well, I'll tell you plainly baby
What I plan to do
Well, I may be crazy baby
But I ain't no fool
Your daddy's rich, mama
And you're overdue
But I ain't the one, baby
Been messing with you
Got bells in your mind, baby its easy to see
I think its time for me to move along baby
I do believe
"Oh you're tryin to put a hook in me baby"
Now your're talking jive, baby
When you say to me
Your daddy gonna take us in mama
'N take care of me
You know and I know, baby

I never hurt you sweet heart
Oh lord never pulled my gun
Got bells in your mind, baby
Oh its easy to see
I think its time for me to move along I do believe
Time for me to put my boots out in the street
Walk on
Well all right there missy, let me tell you a thing or two
Now your're talking jive, baby
When you say to me
Your daddy gonna take us in mama
'N take care of me
You know and I know, baby

Oh lord never pulled my gun
Got rings in your eyes, baby
Its easy to see
I think its time for me to move along I do believe
Oh I think I'm in some kind of conspiracy

You're Gonna Change
Words and music by hank williams, sr.
[g] you wore out a brand new trunk
Packin' and un-[d7] packin' your [g] junk
Your daddy's mad; he's done got pee-eeved
You're gonna change [d7] or i'm a-gonna [g] leave.
Chorus
You're gonna [c7] change your way of livin'
Change the things you do
Stop [g] doin' all the things that you oughten too
Your daddy's mad; he's done got pee-eeved
You're gonna change [d7] or i'm a-gonna [g] leave.
This ain't right and that is wrong
You just keep naggin', all the day long
Its gotta stop, i don't mean plea-ease
Now, you're gonna change or i'm a-gonna leave.
The way to keep a woman happy
And make her do what's right
Is love her ev'ry mornin', bawl her out at night
Your daddy's mad; he's done got pee-eeved
Now, you're gonna change or i'm a-gonna leave.
Ev'ry time you get mad
You pack your rags and go back to dad
You tell him lies he don't belie-ieve
Now, you're gonna change or i'm a-gonna leave.

Chico Fernandez, sleepin' on his gun
Dreams of Santa Anna
Fighting in the sun
Drums so loud from both sides
Makes it hard to dream
A bluish fall on an orange fast
Makes that hard to seems reason
Mornin', calm mornin'
Ah, Chico's gonna have his share
Mornin', sad mornin'
Sad it must be Aahahahahahahahahahaha...
Mornin', sad mornin'

Seniorita panned in:
Chico, come-on-home!
Santa Anna's losing
You'll be the first to go

Davy Crocket too
Whenn Anna takes the Alamo
The first to go is you

When Father's Day Nears
I give my daddy the props,
But my mama deserves the praise.
She was there to discipline me
And my siblings.
Daddy she was on most of those days!
Both mother and father and teacher and friend.
Daddy was in and out,
When my childhood began!
But there was no mistake...
As to who daddy was.
He enforced the rules,
And mama was the boss!
And every year when Father's Day nears...
Both of them I honor and credit!
If daddy wasn't there,
And we would get in mama's hair...
She would say,
'When your father comes home,
You're gonna get it! '
