Hank Williams Jr - Fly Trouble lyrics

Did you ever sit straight up in your bed with somethin' circlin' around your head

And you swot at it as it whizzes by it's just one pesky little fly

You shake your head and you twitch your nose and settle down to sweet repose

Then when you're just about the dose fly trouble

Buzz buzz buzz goes that busy little fly buzz buzz buzz he's takin' off and high

You roll a paper nice and tight and you wait around for him to light

Now there's a fly just livin' right buzz buzz buzz

[ piano ]

Now the toughest hide grows on the mule cause he's a balky stubborn fool

He likes to look at you and glare an' never even move one hare

But when his muscles start to twitch when his tail begins to switch

That mule ain't bothered with the itch fly trouble

Buzz buzz buzz goes that busy little pest buzz buzz buzz that mule can't get no rest

He shakes his head and he bats his eye and kicks his heels up to the sky

Did you ever see a jazz that cry buzz buzz buzz

[ guitar ]

Now you pick yourself a perfect night in June

When all the flowers are bloomin' neath the moon

Your light of love is burnin' bright and you tell yourself tonight's the night

You brace yourself and your courage grows

And you're on your knees where you propose

When this thing bites you right on the nose fly trouble

Buzz buzz buzz goes that busy little thing

Buzz buzz buzz you swot and lose the ring

You fan the air as he goes by and stick your finger right in your eye

You hit every thing except that fly buzz buzz buzz
