GUEST,cn Lyr Add: Greasy Coat (7) Lyr Add: GREASY COAT 29 Dec 03


Hi,
I was recently at a jam where Greasy Coat was played on the fiddle and I commented that I'd heard there were also words to this tune. So, I'm trying to find a reasonably accurate set of words for this tune for folks to sing, but haven't found any on the web. If anyone can correct, add to, or otherwise enhance what I've got so far, I'd be very grateful:

I don't drink and I don't smoke
And I don't go for the greasy coat.
I don't smoke and I don't chew
And I don't go for them that do.

When I ride my house to town,
I see that man in a greasy gown,
Preaching and praying and singing so fine.
I see that pastor abiding his time.

Children chase, never get no will.
It's better than taking a sleeping pill.
Staying awake is an awful fight,
But it sure builds up when it's late at night.

I eat my lunch with a greasy spoon.
I sweep it up with a greasy fru??.
Greasy pies and greasy meat,
They set with me on a greasy seat.
