A Loafin’ Song

What’s the use a-workin’

     What’s the use?

Folks can live by shirkin’,

     What’s the use?

What’s the use a-tuggin’

What’s the use a-luggin’

Life warn’t made fur pluggin’

     What’s the use?

What’s the use to worry,

     What’s the use?

What’s the use to hurry,

     What’s the use?

Take your time a-settin’

On the fence a-lettin’

Others do the frettin’,

     What’s the use?

What’s the use to labor,

     What’s the use?

Borry from your neighbor,

     What’s the use?

Perhaps the world don’t need you,

But do not let it bleed you

Just make it clothe and feed you,

     What’s the use?
