There came a man from tennessee
I must tell the story
He built a house beside the road
And called it loafers glory
Get away, go away, get away I say
Don't trade at loafers glory
He cheated me of house and land
At trading he was able
He kept a dog beneath the porch
And a goat to clear the table
Get away, go away, get away I say
Don't trade at loafers glory
Well his wife jan had one left hand
She was mighty savvy
She hoed her taters every day
And wormed her rows of cabbage
Get away, go away, get away I say
Don't trade at loafers glory
His brooding hen had ceased to lay
He thought he would help her
He ran her backward up the hill
And fed her corn and pepper
Get away, go away, get away I say
Don't trade at loafers glory
Get away, go away, get away I say
Don't trade at loafers glory
