SHANTY
As recorded by Jonathan Edwards on "Jonathan Edwards" (1971)

1. Gonna sit down in the kitchen and fix me something good to eat,
And make my head a little high, make the whole day complete.

CHORUS: 'Cause we're gonna lay around the shanty, Mama, and put a good buzz on.

2. Well, pass it to me, baby. Well, pass it to me slow.
Take time out to smile a little before I let it go. CHORUS

3. There ain't nothin' to do and there's always room for more.
Fill it, light it, shut up, and close the door. CHORUS

4. We're gonna sit around the kitchen and fix us something good to eat,
And make ourselves a little high, make the whole day complete. CHORUS

Well, ev'ry night and day if I can help it,
We're gonna lay around the shanty, Mama, and put a good buzz on.


I don't sing this anymore 'cause I don't smoke anymore, but some things have a permanent registry in whatever brains I have left. TK
