I got a gal, she lives up the road
Eyes are crooked and her legs is bowed
But we sure have a lot of fun
Won't you go away lazy John

chorus
  Lazy John, lazy John
  Won't you get your day's work all done
  You're in the shade, I'm in the sun
  Won't you go away lazy John

Goin' to a dance on Saturday night
Goin' to dance 'til the mornng light
Then I'm gonna bring my little baby home
Won't you go away lazy John

chorus
