Subject: RE: Life Gets Tedious Don't It - Words Please
The sun comes up. The sun goes down.
Hands on clock go round and round.
I just get up and it's time to lay down.
Life...

The tin roof leaks and the chimney leans.
There's a hole in the seat of my new blue jeans.
I ate up the last of the pork and beans.
Just can depend on nothin'.

There's an old mouse gnawin' at the cupboard door.
He's been gnawin' now for a month or more.
When he gets in, he's gonna be sore.
There ain't a durn thing in it.

From Doc and Merle on Stage at Cornell, Vanguard Records, 1964. Lots of other verses I'm sure.
