Taking It Easy

Just takin' it easy

Just takin' it slow

I ain't gonna worry

When the cold winds blow

I'm a-takin' it easy

I'm a-takin' it slow

I ain't gonna worry

When the cold winds blow

I knew a sweet gal, she lived down south

So sweet the honeybees swarm around her mouth

She kissed me, hugged me, called me sugar plum

She carried on so I thought my time had come

Just takin' it easy

Just takin' it slow

I ain't gonna worry

When the cold winds blow

I'm a-takin' it easy

I'm a-takin' it slow

I ain't gonna worry

When the cold winds blow

She climbed up on the mountain, one, two, three

I asked her there if she'd marry me

She said I won't but over the hill

Her echo hollered, "Oh yes I will"

Just takin' it easy

Just takin' it slow

I ain't gonna worry

When the cold winds blow

I'm a-takin' it easy

I'm a-takin' it slow

I ain't gonna worry

When the cold winds blow

Mama's in the kitchen preparin' to eat

Sister's in the pantry lookin' for some yeast

Papa's in the cellar mixin' up the hops

And brother's at the window, he's watchin' for the cops

Just takin' it easy

Just takin' it slow

I ain't gonna worry

When the cold winds blow

I'm a-takin' it easy

I'm a-takin' it slow

I ain't gonna worry

When the cold winds blow

I was down in the henhouse, quiet as you please

Thought I heard some chicken sneeze

'Twas only the rooster though sayin' his prayers

Givin' out thanks to the hens upstairs

Just takin' it easy

Just takin' it slow

I ain't gonna worry

When the cold winds blow

I'm a-takin' it easy

I'm a-takin' it slow

I ain't gonna worry
