Melody
A  A7   D9     A       A7     D9
Lazy   bones, sleepin' in the sun
A          A7     D9       A           A7

Bridge
A7    D            D6         A
When taters need sprayin', I bet you keep prayin'
     D9       Cdim     A
The bugs fall off the vine
     A           G#7       G7            F#7
And when you go fishin' I bet you keep wishin'
          D9         F7            E7
That the fish won't grab at your line
A  A7   D9     A       A7     D9
Lazy   bones, loafin' through the day
A          A7     D9       A        A7
How you 'spect to make a dime that way
        D9           Dm   Dm7 E7    D9
You'll never make a dime that way
            F7  E7 A
Never heard a word I say.
