I got a barrel of flour Lord I got a bucket of lard I got a barrel of flour Lord I got a bucket of lard I ain't got no blues got chickens in my backyard Got corn in my crib cotton growin' in my patch I got corn in my crib cotton growin' in my patch I got that old hen a sittin' waitin' for that old hen to hatch Yodel lyee-oh hard time blues [ piano ] I'm gonna hitch up my mule and take a holt of my line I'm gonna hitch up my mule and take a holt of my line I can't be bothered with all those old hard times Oh go ahead and pick one now [ dobro ] I'm gonna build me a shanty Lord I'm gonna settle down I'm gonna build me a shanty Lord I'm gonna settle down Get me a corn fed mama and Lordy quit a runnin round Here he comes [ dobro ] I can make more money with my pick and plow I can make more money with my pick and plow With my one-eyed mule and my good ole Jersey cow Yodel lyee-oh hard time blues
