Shovels and Rope - O' Be Joyful [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

(Does she wanna get it all back?)

O' be joyful!
Is that what you're brewing?
Does your daddy know
That's what you're doing?
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
Carry you out right on time

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?

(Yea!)
