Skin Your Own Polecat 歌词

I lost my folks when I was only three And then Uncle Zed took charge of me He was sharper still and twice as hard He lived a sermon is own back yard A said yes sir no sir thank you please Said if I didn't he'd put me across his knees He didn't waist time on sympathy But he taught me a great philosophy He said skin your own pole cat son When the going gets rough don't you run There's a world of truth in what he said Skin your own pole cat if you wanna get ahead Now uncle never let any soft words fall I used to think he didn't love me at all He sat me down by his side one day He said now son life is this a way In a river of sin you can swim around There's plenty of friends that will help you drown But if you ain't strong and you ain't stout There ain't nobody gonna help you out He said skin your own pole cat son... Well a few short years and I was grown Uncle said boy now you're on your own I started out to live a good life I loved the pretty girls and I took me a wife Well I've got forty acres of fertile ground A big house started gonna settle down And a little bit later when the kids come along I'll think about uncle and I'll sing this song He said skin your own pole cat son... Yeah he said skin your own pole cat son...
