Al Duvall - In The Shack Lyrics

Be careful what you do with those idle fingers
Either go to work or take a nap
And never give a penny to those orphan singers
They're only gonna take you for a sap
The bums are strutting in from the stockyard rails
The townsfolk are outnumbered three to one
They're fighting off the dogs with bricks and nails
The preacher's handing everyone a gun

But in the shack where the crocodiles crawl
Not a soul has ever come to call
In the shack in thе middle of the slough
No one knows just what it is I do

I was born еxhausted and raised up lazy
My daddy taught me that's the way to be
He had some common sense, but he was champagne crazy
He got a banjo tattooed on his knee
He took me to the zoo to see all God's critters
He took me to the town to see the men
I felt their eyes upon me and I got the jitters
I never did go anywhere again

In the shack near the turpentine trees
I can do most anything I please
In the shack by the soggy mill road
Folks don't know, but brother, they've been told
