๐ Lyrics
Well the cows went dry the hens dont lay
Theres no place i can borrow
Give the landlord all the news
The rent comes due tomorrow
Lotsa money in the bank
They say thats where they keep it
Not only wouldnt they lend me some
They wouldnt let me see it
So pick away the old banjo
Keep that guitar strumming
Put more water in the soup
Theres better times a comin
Well mary lou could butterfly
If only i would let her
Shes twice as strong as any ox
And looks a little better
I didnt kids that mary lou but once
And then i had to leave her
She made my collar guess so tight
I start to burn a fever
So pick away the old banjo
Keep that guitar strumming
Put more water in the soup
Therez better times a coming
My rooster used to chase the hens
He just kept getting thinner
He nearly ran himself to death
So i brought him in for dinner
Cotton crops are mighty poor
The weeds are surely growing
I need a woman pretty fast
To help me with the hoeing
So pick away the old banjo
Keep that guitar strumming
Put more water in the soup
Theres better times a coming
So pick away the old banjo
Keep that guitar strummin
Put more water in the soup
Therez better timez a comin
Better times a comin
Theres no place i can borrow
Give the landlord all the news
The rent comes due tomorrow
Lotsa money in the bank
They say thats where they keep it
Not only wouldnt they lend me some
They wouldnt let me see it
So pick away the old banjo
Keep that guitar strumming
Put more water in the soup
Theres better times a comin
Well mary lou could butterfly
If only i would let her
Shes twice as strong as any ox
And looks a little better
I didnt kids that mary lou but once
And then i had to leave her
She made my collar guess so tight
I start to burn a fever
So pick away the old banjo
Keep that guitar strumming
Put more water in the soup
Therez better times a coming
My rooster used to chase the hens
He just kept getting thinner
He nearly ran himself to death
So i brought him in for dinner
Cotton crops are mighty poor
The weeds are surely growing
I need a woman pretty fast
To help me with the hoeing
So pick away the old banjo
Keep that guitar strumming
Put more water in the soup
Theres better times a coming
So pick away the old banjo
Keep that guitar strummin
Put more water in the soup
Therez better timez a comin
Better times a comin
