On The Bayou

I'm sittin' on the Bayou,
With my watermelon wine,
I'm tryin' to catch a catfish,
And I'm feelin' mighty fine.

Some folks may say I'm lazy,
And I gotta get a job,
They say I'm good for nothin',
And I'm livin' like a slob.

But I ain't hurtin' no one,
And there's no one hurtin' me,
I like the way I'm livin',
It's my way of bein' free.

I think they're kinda jealous,
'Cause they work from nine ta five,
Then come home mighty tired,
And they're feelin' half alive.

I got no great ambishins,
It's jes how I wanna be,
And though you think I'm lazy,
I am me, jes bein' me.
