Acoustic Junction - Uncle Jed Lyrics

My Uncle Jed, he lives down on the farm
He never ever does anybody no harm,
Works all day, sleeps all night
He never ever worries or gets into a fight

Oh, ho, Uncle Jed say
Isn't everybody gettin' older each day
Oh, ho, who wants to fly
I only want to live until the day that I die

Now Jed built his house down over a stream
You know his floor was a window and his roof was a dream
He planted a tree down under his bed
He never paid attention to what other folks said

Oh, ho, Uncle Jed say
Isn't everybody gettin' older each day
Oh, ho, who wants to fly
I only want to live until the day that I die

Now out in the barn Jed had his horse
He had his elephants, his tiger and a zebra of course
Ten kangaroos, a herd of giraffe,
A spotted alligator and a cow just for laughs

Oh, ho, Uncle Jed say
Isn't everybody gettin' older each day
Oh, ho, who wants to fly
I only want to live until the day that I die

Amy Lou she's Uncle Jed's wife
She's so very pretty and she's always so nice
Amy and Jed they make quite a pair
A couple of freaks from the old county fair

Oh, ho, Uncle Jed say
Isn't everybody gettin' older each day
Oh, ho, who wants to fly
I only want to live until the day that I die

Oh, ho, Uncle Jed say
Isn't everybody gettin' older each day
Oh, ho, who wants to fly
I only want to live until the day that I die

Oh, ho, Uncle Jed say
Isn't everybody gettin' older each day
Oh, ho, who wants to fly
I only want to live until the day that I die
