This version comes from Chris Henry (Red & Murphy's son) who got it from a recording by the Lynn Morris Band (album title: The Bramble and the Rose - Rounder Records).

I'M A HANDY MAN TO HAVE AROUND

I's born in the country, never went to school,
But don't you call me nobody's fool.
I'm a handy man to have around.
I'd like to tell you, I'm a handy man.

I'm always around when you want me
To paint your porch or chop your tree.
I'm a handy man to have around.
I'd like to tell you, I'm a handy man.

Any day now, and it won't be long,
I'll be around to mow your lawn.
I'm a handy man to have around.
I'd like to tell you, I'm a handy man.
