Older and Poorer Lyrics

TIM BARRY
OLDER & POORER:FROM THE ALBUM
LOST & ROOTLESS
HE PLAYS C WITH A G BASE LINE BACK AND FOURTH
CHORDS C F G
WHEN WE GOT MARRIED IN THE BACK YARD
I PUT NEW STRINGS ON MY OLD GUITAR
THE E WAS FLAT THE A STAYED SHARP
I HAD KNOW IDEA AT ALL,HOW HAPPY IT WOULD MAKE SMALL
AND HOW DRUNK YOU AND I GET BEFORE DARK
WHEN I READ YOU MY VOES, MY DADDY LOOKED SO PROUND
MOM SMILED EAR TO EAR AND CRAINED TO SEE
WHEN BABY GEE HIT THE TREE,RIGHT THEN AN THERE I STARTED BELIEVING
YOUR MOM SHOULD HOST THIS PARTY EVERY WEEKEND.
CHORUS:
WE SANG IN THE PINES IN THREE FOUR TIME
ONE TWO THREE TWO TWO THREE HEE HAW
GIRL YOUR MOM CAN CUT A RUG,HOW LUCKY TO BE IN LOVE
WITH YOU ,THE WHOLE FAMILY AND EMMA THE DOG
YEA,THE BABY CAME NEXT THAT ATE UP ALL OF OUR PAYCHECKS
WE NAMED HER LEA JANE ,AND YOU BUILT A CRIB
WE REARANGED THE HOUSE,I KICKED ALL THE ANTS OUT
AND WE SIT TOGETHER AT MEAL TIME AGAIN
CHORUS:
AND WE SING IN THE PINES AT HER BED TIME
ONE TWO THREE,TWO TWO THREE HEE HAW
NOW LEA JANE CAN CUT A RUG ,JUST LIKE YOUR MOMMA WOULD
SHE REMINDS ME MOST OF YOUR GRANDMA AFTER ALL.
YEA, BEFORE WE HIT MIDDLE AGE THERE ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO SAY
I LOVE YOU FROM THE FIRST TIME I SAW YOUR FACE
THOUGH I'VE ENJOYED YOU EVER SINCE,I'M THANKFULL WE ARE STILL FRIENDS
AND GROWING OLDER AND POORER WITH GRACE
CHORUS:
LET SING IN THE PINES,OUR OLD AGE TIMES
ONE TWO THREE,TWO TWO THREE HEE HAW
AND LEA JANE CAN PAY OUR BILLS AND INMINESTER OUR PILL
WHILE WE SNEAK OFF AND GET DRUNK BEFORE DARK
