There was an ole lady and an ole man Each sippin coffee from a can The two sat in their rockin chair Breathin in the fresh mornin air
They both had a full day ahead She started the yeast for some bread His suspenders hiked up his pants Wandered out to gaze at his plants
She deftly swept the dirt floor clean He announced, she always looked mean The ole lady sat to churn the butter Ole man pretended to fix the shutter
Hardy ole gal got to smokin the pig He drove to town in his ancient rig While she hung the laundered sheets on the line He pulled up to his still, it was runnin fine
It was time for her to rustle up some grub Tipsy ole guy gave his neck a good rub She fried them up some hogback and beans He sat the table, perfect by no means
At last they sat down to commence to chew Forgot their choppers like they sometimes do After they dined on their scrumptious fare They headed back to the rockin chair
The pair soaked their dogs in a separate pan The little ole lady and the shrunken ole man Couldn't think of a better end to a day Than to rock, smoke and soak their cares away
