Turpentine Farm

[Verse 1]
Well, I drove my mule to the watering troff
He would not drink and he wouldn't back off
With turpentine, we rubbed him good
And he drunk all the water in the neighborhood

[Chorus]
Down on turpentine farm, down on turpentine farm
Where the work ain't hard and the weather is warm

[Verse 2]
Well the cow won't run and the pig won't moo
What in the world are we gonna do?
We rub 'em with turpentine to make 'em sore
And the dog-gone fools come back for morе

[Chorus]
Down on turpentine farm, down on turpentinе farm
Where the work ain't hard and the weather is warm

[Verse 3]
Well the dog-gone horse, she done her best
But there for a block she needs to rest
Sent her down in the turpentine
The poor old horse, she lost her mind

[Chorus]
Down on turpentine farm, down on turpentine farm
Where the work ain't hard and the weather is warm

[Verse 4]
My old dog is a mind of me
And the meanest old dog that you ever had seen
And I fetched him up in an old wood shed
And I caught him now hidin' under the bed

[Chorus]
Down on turpentine farm, down on turpentine farm
Where the work ain't hard and the weather is warm

[Verse 5]
My boss man is a lazy hand
Chewin' tobacco and he spits on the ground
And he smokes his pipe and he lays in the shade
He's the laziest fool that's ever been made

[Chorus]
Down on turpentine farm, down on turpentine farm
Where the work ain't hard and the weather is warm
Down on turpentine farm, down on turpentine farm
Where the work ain't hard and the weather is warm
