Loafer's Glory
There came a man from tennessee
I must tell the story
He built a house beside the road
And called it loafers glory
Get away, go away, get away I say
Don't trade at loafers glory
He cheated me of house and land
At trading he was able
He kept a dog beneath the porch
And a goat to clear the table
Get away, go away, get away I say
Don't trade at loafers glory
Well his wife jan had one left hand
She was mighty savvy
She hoed her taters every day
And wormed her rows of cabbage
Get away, go away, get away I say
Don't trade at loafers glory
His brooding hen had ceased to lay
He thought he would help her
He ran her backward up the hill
And fed her corn and pepper
Get away, go away, get away I say
Don't trade at loafers glory
Get away, go away, get away I say
Don't trade at loafers glory
La Gloria del Vago
Un hombre llegó de Tennessee
Debo contar la historia
Construyó una casa junto al camino
Y la llamó la gloria del vago
Aléjate, vete, te digo
No hagas tratos en la gloria del vago
Me engañó con la casa y la tierra
En el comercio era hábil
Tenía un perro debajo del porche
Y una cabra para limpiar la mesa
Aléjate, vete, te digo
No hagas tratos en la gloria del vago
Su esposa Jan tenía una mano izquierda
Era muy astuta
Cavaba sus papas todos los días
Y deshierbaba sus filas de repollo
Aléjate, vete, te digo
No hagas tratos en la gloria del vago
Su gallina empolladora había dejado de poner huevos
Él pensó en ayudarla
La corrió hacia atrás por la colina
Y le dio maíz y pimienta
Aléjate, vete, te digo
No hagas tratos en la gloria del vago
Aléjate, vete, te digo
No hagas tratos en la gloria del vago
