[Verse 1] Her daddy says I'm a no-account man says I'll never make a dollar with these two hands but she slips out back when the lamp goes low and we waltz in the weeds where the daisies grow [Chorus] I ain't gonna hoe and I ain't gonna mow gonna lay around till the whistle blows sun comes up and the rooster crows and I'll be sleepin' where the cool wind goes [Verse 2] They want me up early, they want me in the field but a lazy man's heart just won't be healed I'd rather pick a banjo than pick the corn been a no-good rambler since the day I was born [Chorus] I ain't gonna hoe and I ain't gonna mow gonna lay around till the whistle blows sun comes up and the rooster crows and I'll be sleepin' where the cool wind goes [Banjo Breakdown] [Verse 3] So tell the boss man he can keep his pay I'm gonna fish that river till the end of day with my gal on my arm and a jug of my own LAY around easy till the whistle blows [Final Chorus] I ain't gonna hoe and I ain't gonna mow gonna lay around till the whistle blows sun comes up and the rooster crows and I'll be sleepin' where the cool wind goes [Outro] and I'll be sleepin' where the cool wind goes
