Work Don't Bother Me written by Gid Tanner & His Skillet Lickers
Lyrics
"I don't bother work, Work don't bother me
I'm just as happy as a bumblebee
Eat when I can get it, Sleep 'most all the time
I don't give a doggone if the sun don't never shine
Go 'most ev'rywhere, I don't pay no fare
I can ride a freight train most ev'rywhere
Looks might strange, strange to me
Work, work, work don't bother me
Old Bill (last name?) worked down in the holler
Want to know the diff'rence 'tween a woman and a dollar
Ain't no diff'rence, one and all
A woman is large and a dollar is small
Look-a here, Bill, (I'll) try to explain, make you understand
A dollar will go from hand to hand
A woman goes to workin' man, I'll talk about it
A woman goes to workin' man
I don't bother work, Work don't bother me
I'm just as happy as a bumblebee
Eat when I can get it, Sleep 'most all the time
I don't give a doggone if the sun don't never shine
Go 'most ev'rywhere, I don't pay no fare
I can ride a freight train most ev'rywhere
Looks might strange, strange to me
Work, work, work don't bother me
I don't bother work, Work don't bother me
I'm just as happy as a bumblebee
Eat when I can get it, Sleep 'most all the time
I don't give a doggone if the sun don't never shine
Go 'most ev'rywhere, I don't pay no fare
I can ride a freight train most ev'rywhere
Looks might strange, strange to me
Work, work, work don't bother me"
