Merle Travis - Philosophy Lyrics

Let's not worry let's not fret
If it's gonna rain you might get wet
But if you don't stand and cry
Cos you ain't got the sense to get where it's dry

Oh listen to me, that's philosophy
That's philosophy, that's philosophy

If you're broke and badly in debt
Maybe you're down to your very last cent
Don't feel badly don't be blue
There's a million other folks just like you

Oh listen to me, that's philosophy
That's philosophy, that's philosophy

Now don't complain when things go wrong
It'll straighten out as you go along
And if you stay awake at night
Maybe it's because you don't live right

Oh listen to me, that's philosophy
That's philosophy, that's philosophy

Now take it easy take it slow
No use to hurry, nowhere to go
When you get there what you gonna do
Cos there's your shadow, there are you

Oh listen to me, that's philosophy
That's philosophy, that's philosophy

Now there's the moral of this here tale
Follow the rules you'll never fail
If you don't one thing is true
You ain't heard a word we've sung to you

Oh listen to me, that's philosophy
That's philosophy, that's philosophy
