Loafer's Glory
Traditional
Key
EditVerse
There came a man from Tennessee
I must tell the story
He built a house beside the road
And called it Loafer's Glory
Chorus
Get away, get away, get away I say
Don't trade at Loafer's Glory
Verse
He cheated me of house and land
At trading he was able
He kept a dog to lick the pots
And a goat to clear the table
Verse
His wife Jan had one left hand
She was mighty savvy
She hoed her taters every day
And wormed her rows of cabbage
Verse
His brooding hen had ceased to lay
He thought he would help her
He ran her backwards up the hill
And fed her corn and pepper
