Just takin' it easy, just takin' it slow
I ain't gonna worry when
the cold winds blow
I'm -a takin' it easy, I'm -a takin' it slow
I ain't gonna worry when
the cold winds blow
I knew a sweet gal, she lived down south
So sweet the honeybees
swarmed around her mouth
She kissed me, hugged me,
called me sugarplum
She carried on so,
I thought my time had come
I'm just takin' it easy, just takin' it slow
I ain't gonna worry when
the cold winds blow
I'm takin' it easy, I'm takin' it slow
I ain't gonna worry when
the cold winds blow
She climbed up on the mountain,
one, two, three
I asked her there if she'd marry me
She said I won't, but over the hill
Her echo hollered, oh yes I will
Just takin' it easy, just takin' it slow
I ain't gonna worry when
the cold winds blow
I'm takin' it easy, I'm takin' it slow
I ain't gonna worry when
the cold winds blow
Mama's in the kitchen,
preparin' to eat
Sister's in the pantry,
lookin' for some yeast
Papa's in the cellar, mixin' up the hops
And brother's at the window,
he's watchin'
Just takin' it easy, just takin' it slow,
I ain't gonna worry when
the cold winds blow.
I'm takin' it easy, I'm takin' it slow,
I ain't gonna worry when
the cold winds blow.
I was down in the hen house,
quiet as you please,
thought I heard some chicken sneeze
Was only the rooster though
saying his prayers,
giving out thanks to the hens upstairs
Just taking it easy, just taking it slow,
I ain't gonna worry when
the cold winds blow
I'm takin' it easy, I'm takin' it slow,
I ain't gonna worry when
the cold winds blow.
