Gonna sit down in the Kitchen fix me somethin good to eat, and make my head a lttle high, make the whole day complete,
( Gunna lay round the shanty mama and put a good buzz on )

Pass it to me baby, pass it to me slow,
and take time out to smile a little before you let it go
( Gunna ----Buzz on )

Break

There ain't nothin much to do and theres always room for more,
fill up, light up and close the door,
( Were gonna ------- Buzz on )

Every night and day if I can help it
We're gonna lay round the shanty Mama and put a good buzz on

Thats It Newt

The song is called Shanty, it's on Jonathan's first album, just called Jonathan Edwards, on Capricorn, SD 862.Newt has the words pretty close, except it's "fill it, light it, shut up and close the door".

Just by coincidence, I purchased JE's old stage guitar - Guild F50 - a couple of years ago. It's about the only one I play these days.

OK, here they are:

SHANTY
By Jonathan Edwards

I'm gonna sit down in the kitchen
Fix me something good to eat
Get my head a little high
Make my whole life complete
Gonna lay around the shanty, mama
And get a good buzz on.

Pass it to me, baby
Won't you pass it to me slow
Take time out to smile a little
Before you let it go
Gonna lay around the shanty, mama
And get a good buzz on.

There ain't nothing to do
And there's always room for more
Fill it, light it, shut up
And close the door
Gonna lay around the shanty, mama
And get a good buzz on.

Repeat first verse


Enjoy! jeffp
