Shovels & Rope - O' Be Joyful Lyrics
Does she wanna get it all back?
O' be joyful
Is that what you're brewing
Does your daddy know
His little girl's got a reputation out for ruin
She was givin' them the country away
Machete in the tree stub, hound dog on the chain
Wooden-legged woman playin' a banjo in the rain.
Can't recall the tune but the song's always the same
"Jesus give me strength"
But babe, it's alright
I'm gonna wrap you up tonight,
Well she got Comanche, she got Iroquois
She got a young man that she plays with like a toy
He don't mind when she call him little boy
That's a thing that he enjoys
She wants to give it all back but it's a little too late
He want to start all over, want a shiny clean slate.
Just skin him like a snake and hang him up over the gate.
Don't believe it? Just you wait
But babe, it's alright
I'm gonna wrap you up tonight,
Carry you out right on time
Hey, alright.
Ain't it good to be alive!
Ain't it nice to be fightin' on the winnin' side?

$30 for a tambourine ? That's ridiculous ! Lol
I would love if the toured with Honey Honey.
What a rough and rapturous voice she has......sounds a little like old Divine Horsemen
The first few seconds has been picked up by Zales to use in a commercial.

These guys are hot!

Every song is like unwrapping a present.!
Real people playing real music, love it !
these guys are legit!
Exactly. Also, if I'm not mistaken, they actually picked the drums out of a junkyard. :)
Yeah, obviously just an X, then some tape on the sides, like | X |. If you watch it more than once it's pretty obvious...
It's just an X. It's taped up, probably to protect the head from breaking because they play so hard.
Great Lawd! Pass the biscuits and PRAISE the hen! Love you Cary Ann and Michael!

Going to be a big warm welcome for you all at the Wildwood Musicfest and Campout in Sheridan, Oregon. This song just has that thing about it, I love the crunchy guitar and boom boom drums. I have become enamored with your vocals. Safe Travels
Trumpet guy?
I love it when the girl in flannel drops her drink as she goes to applaud at 2:19
Look at me, rocking at 0:42 and dancing at 1:25!
