I went walking, walking
In the search of a place
With a hut, a brunette lady
And some soil ready to sow
I found the land, I saw the house
I only had to weed it clean
But with no lap from my brunette lady*
Who am I to get upset
And there I go...
A little break here, a little stop there
And there I go...
How hard is it to work
And I go on singing, take out my guitar
Bring everyone around the campfire
I bring my brunette lady, eye on my syrup
Smelling like a canebrake
And I pick this, I pick that
Nonstop picking
But there's no more single lady
That can get me upset
