lyrics

been slavin’ my life away
been slavin’ my life away
been slavin’ my life away
workin’ all night and day
been slavin’ my life away

here comes ol’ Lucyanne
here comes ol’ Lucyanne
here comes ol’ Lucyanne
pullin’ a plow with an ol’ field hand
here comes ol’ Lucyanne

fix me some Hoppin’ John
fix me some Hoppin’ John
fix me some Hoppin’ John
my boss man is dead and gone
fix me some Hoppin’ John

aint gonna work no more
aint gonna work no more
aint gonna work no more
grab me a bottle and hit the floor
aint gonna work no more

leave me n my woman alone
leave me n my woman alone
leave me n my woman alone
come knockin’ aint nobody home
leave me n my woman alone

I aint want no part of this world
I aint want no part of this world
I aint want no part of this world
just give me a cabin and my girl
I aint want no part of this world

you can find me where I belong
you can find me where I belong
you can find me where I belong
in hell with the devil cause I done wrong
you can find me where I belong
