Subject: Lyr Add: DON'T LET NOBODY TIE YOU DOWN (R Light)
Here's what I think is sung by The Country Gazette in this video at YouTube. Note there is one questionable line.


DON'T LET NOBODY TIE YOU DOWN
Ronnie Light

1. The boss-man says, "Get busy,"
But he ain't busy, is he?
Don't let nobody push you 'round.
If he gets in your hair,
There's other jobs elsewhere.
Don't let nobody tie you down.

CHORUS: You won't be satisfied until
You see what's over one more hill
So if you'd be a free boy,(?)
Take this advice from me, boy:
Don't let nobody tie you down.

2. Don't sign no binding contracts
If someday you plan to make tracks.
Don't let nobody tie you down.
When a woman ties that knot,
You can't get out when things get hot,
So don't let nobody tie you down.

CHORUS TWICE

CODA: Don't let nobody push you 'round.
