Now, the people's cryin, 'Mercy' But the whole world is now in a strain Now, the people's cryin, 'Mercy' But the whole world is now in a strain I am going to the court house And have the judge to change my name I was out this mo'nin' I looked up at the risin' sun I was out this mo'nin' I looked up at the risin' sun And the strain that I'm in It will take me two years to overcome Now, let me tell you boys How your friends will treat you When you run astray Now, let me tell you boys How your friends will treat you When you run astray They won't even come around you And call you rather dirty names I really believe I'm going to have to leave this town I really believe I'm going to have to leave this town Because the strain that I'm in It is really carryin' me down I was out this mo'nin' I looked up at the risin' sun Was out this mo'nin' I looked up at the risin' sun But now the strain that I'm in It will take me two years to overcome.

If you haven't heard the story then I think that you ought It all happened up in the state of New York in the Catskill Mountains Van Winkle laid down and slept 20 years on the cold, cold ground No doubt of what Uncle Van Winkle had to drink and he would take it anytime as quick as a wink It must've been whiskey, home brew or lagger beer slept off his troubles for 20 long years When he opened up his eyes and he looked all around, he seen his old dogs bones there on the ground, his old gun rusty, and his ramrod gone, he got up shook his head and p ulled for home Just think of what ol' Van Winkle say sleepin 20 years with his face not shaved, his clothes not pressed, and his shoes not shine, when he got up he done lost his mind He was thinkin all the time as a home he went felt in his pocket and he didn't have a cent He felt on his head and then he had a pain but the sleepy headed rascal didnt know his name When he got back to his little ol home, his wife was dead and his children all gone, he got himself together and when he heard the news, he said "For 20 long years I had the sleepin blues"

If the river was whiskey and I was a duck I'd dive to the bottom and never come up But the river ain't whiskey and I ain't no duck Let's play the drunkard's hiccups and sip from my jug I'll eat when I'm hungry and drink when I'm dry get to feelin much better I might sprout wings and fly I'll take down my fiddle and rosin up my bow I'll make myself welcome where ever I go corn whiskey, pretty women have been my downfall they kicked me and broke me but i love them through all My shoes are all worn my toes stickin out if I don't get some whiskey I'm goin up the spout I've played cards in England I've gambled in Spain goin down to Carolina for to play my last game Jack o Diamonds, Jack o Diamonds I know you from old You've robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold

Wish I was a june apple hangin on that tree every time a little girl pass she'd take a little bit outta me Can't you hear that banjo say "wish that gal was mine"? Can't you hear that banjo say "wish that gal was mine"? Wish I had some sticks and poles to build my chimney higher every time it rains and snows spits out all my fire Going across the mountain to hear that banjo ring When I get on the other side, Imma hear my woman sing Build be a banjo out of a gourd string it up with twine the only tune it could play "wish that gal was mine"
