Git up, ya git down

Ya git lost and then ya get found

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Sure as I'm sittin' here



Ya git a laugh, ya git a cry

Get 'em all before you die

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Sure as I'm sittin' here



Come on, sit down, git down

A-come on, sit down, git down

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Sure as I'm sittin' here



You git the truth, ya git a lie

'nough to make a grown man cry

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Sure as I'm sittin' here



You git the light, you git the dark

Fall in love, it breaks your heart

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Sure as I'm sittin' here



Come on, sit down, git down

A-come on, sit down, git down

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Sure as I'm sittin' here



All the ladies hypnotize you

And all your friends, well they just patronize you

Don't God look forgot? He's just sittin' here

And I think He's got a plan but it's not too clear



Mm-mm-mmm mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm-mmm mm

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Sure as I'm sittin' here



Mm-mm mm-mm-mmm mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm-mmm mm

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Sure as I'm sittin' here



Come on, sit down, git down

A-come on, sit down, git down

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Sure as I'm sittin' here



Come on, sit down, git down

A-come on, sit down, git down

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Sure as I'm sittin' here



Come on...
