O' be joyful, is that what ya brewin'?
Does your daddy know that's what ya been doin'?
His little girl's got her reputation out to ruin
She was givin' them the country wave

Machete in a tree stump, hound dog on a chain
Wooden legged woman playin' the banjo in the rain
What a difficult tune, but the song's always the same
Jesus, give me strength

Babe, it's alright
I'm gonna wrap you up tonight
Carry you out right on time

O' be joyful
O' be joyful

She's ot the magic, she's got a recoil
She got a young man that she likes to play with like a toy
He don't mind when she call him little boy
That's a thing that he enjoys

She wants to get it all back, it's a little too late
Want to start all over with a shiny clean slate
She'll skin 'em like snake and hang 'em up over the gate
You don't believe it, just you wait

Babe, it's alright
I'm gonna wrap you up tonight
Carry you out right on time

O' be joyful
O' be joyful

Ain't it good to be alive?
Ain't it nice to be fightin' on the winning side?
Yeah, ain't it good to be alive?
Yeah, ain't it nice to be fightin' on the winning side?

Carry you out right on time
Carry you out right on time
Right on

O' be joyful
O' be joyful
