This song is a parody of the 1926 religious song “I Ain’t Gonna Grieve My Lord”. Joe Haymes recorded it in 1933
Saw the sun go down in the west, my weary head laid down to rest
I put away all my troubles and cares, made up my mind right then and there
I Ain’t Gonna Grieve My Mind Anymore
The reason I didn’t fly to France, I don’ t look good in flying pants
I ain’t gonna grieve, I ain’t gonna weep, I ain’t gonna lose no more good sleep
I Ain’t Gonna Grieve My Mind Anymore
I Ain’t Gonna Grieve ……My Mind Anymore
I Ain’t Gonna Grieve My Mind Anymore
Sammy Speed thought he could beat a train. As a racing hound he wanted fame
They met at the crossing, the reports were hummin’
Haven’t heard from Sam but the train’s still running
I Ain’t Gonna Grieve My Mind Anymore
Johnny Jones, a fillin’ station sheik, strutted his gasoline, one day last week
He pulled a lighter for a cigarette; they ain’t found John or the station yet
I Ain’t Gonna Grieve My Mind Anymore
I Ain’t Gonna Grieve ……My Mind Anymore
I Ain’t Gonna Grieve My Mind Anymore
My girl shot at me with a forty-four gun, I changed my mind about choosin’ to run
I ain’t gonna grieve, I ain’t gonna worry, I don’t want to leave this world in a hurry
I Ain’t Gonna Grieve My Mind Anymore
Gonna place you, babe, in a pinewood coffin, your tombstone will read “was shot too often”
The flowers I send might be slippery elem, won’t make no difference cause you won’t smell em’
I Ain’t Gonna Grieve My Mind Anymore
I Ain’t Gonna Grieve ……My Mind Anymore
I Ain’t Gonna Grieve My Mind Anymore
Nero fiddled at the burning of Rome; I fiddled myself, right out of a home
I ain’t gonna grieve, I know right where, I could play first fiddle in a Morse chair
I ain’ t gonna grieve my mind anymore
Mr. Jonah, so goes the tale, one day was swallowed up by a whale
I don’t know whether it’s a tale of a whale, whatever it is, it’s a whale of a tale
I Ain’t Gonna Grieve My Mind Anymore
I Ain’t Gonna Grieve ……My Mind Anymore
I Ain’t Gonna Grieve My Mind Anymore
