Lazy Bones
Lazy Bones
Sleeping in the sun
How you 'spect to get your day's work done?
Never get your day's work done
I'm sleeping in this noon-day sun

Lazy Bones
Lying in the shade
How you 'spect to get your cornmeal made?
Never get your cornmeal made
I'm sleeping in this evening shade

When taters need spraying
I bet you keep praying
The bugs fall off of the vine

And when you go fishing
I bet you keep wishing
The the fish don't grab at your line

Lazy Bones
Loafing all the day
How you gonna make a dime that way
Never make a dime that way
Never hear a word I say
