Lazy John /Traditional / Banjo

Lazy John - Traditional Folk Song
Banjo - Standard tuning but tuned down to D
Two Finger Thumb Lead Banjo

Work all week in the noon day sun
Fifteen cents when Saturday comes
Goin to a dance to have a little fun
Why don’t you get away lazy John

Lazy John lazy John
Why don’t you get your day’s work all done
You’re in the shade and I’m in the sun
Why don’t you get away lazy John

I got a gal she lives down the road
He legs are buckled and her knees are bowed
But she sure is a lot of fun
Why don’t you get away lazy John

Goin to a dance Saturday night
Ain’t coming home till the broad daylight
Then I’ll take my baby back home
Why don’t you get away lazy John
