Doc Watson does a great job of "Life Gets Teejus, Don't It?" on his Doc Watson in Concert album/cd. --seed

If you put "teejus" in the search box in the upper-right corner of this page, you'll find "Life Gets Teejus" twice. There seem to be some HTML problems with one of rhw two sets of lyrics, but the words are all there. The MIDI file link doesn't seem to work, though. Max, can it be fixed?

Since this song is spoken, not sung, midi seems a bit unnecessary. The accompaniment pattern is I-IV-V-I, twice for each verse, for example:

The (C)sun comes up, the (F)sun goes down;
The (G)hands on the clock go (C)round and round;
I (C)jus' git up and it's (F)time to lie down--
(G)Life gits teejus, (C)don't it?

Doc Watson's album with "Life Gets Teejus, Don't It?" is "Doc Watson on Stage" not "...in Concert. My bad (sorry, Chet). --seed
