Artist: Merle Haggard Album: The Best (1968) Title: Shade Tree Fix-It Man
Lyrics Shade Tree Fix-It Man(Merle Haggard)
Yeah, I'm a shade tree fix-it man I don't need any helping hand I'm a Jack-of-all-trades when I'm workin' in the shade I'm a shade tree-fix-it man.
Well, I headed out of west from Arkansas My Ruby ran fine for a while Then a rock started knockin' a guage started rockin' She wouldn't run another mile.
But on that downhill drag I coasted for awhile Till I found me a shady inn I started huffin' and a puffin', started a frettin' and a sweatin' But I soon had her runnin' again.
'Cause I'm a shade tree fix-it man I don't need any helping hand I'm a Jack-of-all-trades when I'm workin' in the shade I'm a shade tree-fix-it man.

'Bout noon the next day I was back on the road I had her running on out While I was wheelin' and a dealin' I got a funny feelin' If my baby kinda felt this doubt.
Oh, I found me a shade by the side of the road I fixed everything up fine With a little bit of lovin' in a few minutes later We was rolling on down the line.
Cause I'm a shade tree fix-it man I don't need any helping hand I'm a Jack-of-all-trades when I'm workin' in the shade I'm a shade tree-fix-it man.
One more time I'm a shade tree fix-it man I don't need any helping hand I'm a Jack-of-all-trades when I'm workin' in the shade I'm a shade tree-fix-it man.
Yeah, I'm a shade tree fix-it man I don't need any helping hand I'm a Jack-of-all-trades when I'm workin' in the shade I'm a shade tree-fix-it man... |
