Lyrics
Lyrics-merle travis Poverty stricken but still i'm stickin' To things i know to be facts One day it's feathers and the next day chicken While i'm pickin' my yakety axe Everybody says that i never will get far Keepin' out of work by pickin'this guitar Livin' on a shoestring puttin' off things Like a shave and a haircut Money don't matter as long as i scatter A little bit of happiness around If people keep grinnin' i figure i'm winnin' With my good ole yakety sound City slickers go around turnin' up their noses Countin' their greenbacks smellin' their roses But i wouldn't quit my yakety axe Even for a t-bone I'm confessin' i never took a lesson All of my notes is a matter of guessin' Hopin' they'll come out in some sort of manner That'll make a yakety sound If you get in the mood and your feet start pattin' You feel a little groovy and your hands start clappin' Then i've done what i've wanted to do a way back I got you diggin' my yakety axe 1958, 1963, 1965 tree publishing co., inc.
