E                                   A                   E
What insurance has the poor man got, with the furniture man?
E
If he's got no dough, he's got no show
B7
Right back there the wagon gonna stand
E
He'll take everything that you possess
       A                           E
From a bed-tick to a frying pan
A                                 E
If there ever was a devil born without horns
    B7               E
It must have been a furniture man

E
So take your time, Mister Brown, take your time
                         B7
All o' this furniture am mine
E
Well this piano and everything
      A                                   E
Mister Cooper had it written down in my name
E                          B7               E    (A) E
So take your time, Mister Brown, take your time


E
Now Sallasa Boose, as everybody knows,
           A             E
She's the swellest coon in town
E
She give up all last Friday night
        B7
Invited all the coons around
E
The coons come in, chock full o' gin
      A             E
They tried to race around
          A                   E
There's nobody home but Sallasa Boose
     B7                      E
And these are the words she said


E
So take your time, Mister Brown, take your time
                         B7
All o' this furniture am mine
E
Well this piano and everything
      A                                   E
Mister Cooper had it written down in my name
E                          B7               E   (A) E
So take your time, Mister Brown, take your time


E
Now the furniture man come to my house
           A               E
I told him that my wife was sick
E
He looked all around, rummaged through the house
        B7
He even down-turned up the bed-tick
E
He went in the kitchen, he looked on the stove
    A               E
He grabbed a frying pan
A                               E
If there ever was devil born without horns
            B7               E
It must have been a furniture man


E
So take your time, Mister Brown, take your time
                         B7
All o' this furniture am mine
E
Well this piano and everything
      A                                   E
Mister Cooper had it written down in my name
E                          B7               E   (A) E
So take your time, Mister Brown, take your time
