You shake your leg or you wear you a hat

Verse 2
He poured me out a helping’ of a-rhythm and blues
It was bad to the bone, you see to me it was news
Spreadin’ wood sheddin’ in a pair o’ faded overalls
He said just scratch your throat when you start to sing
You make them cry when you bend them strings
And one more thing I will tell you before I’m gone
The only thing that you can count on are both o’ your hands
And havin’ holes in your britches when the boys in the band are playin’.....
