Asleep At The Wheel - The Devil Ain't Lazy lyrics

The Devil Ain't Lazy - written by Fred Rose in Oct. 1947 The devil ain't lazy - no sirree The devil ain't lazy - no sirree Runs around with sticks and stones pa**es out his moans and groansthe devil ain't no lazy bonesHe works 24 hours a dayThe devil ain't lazy - no sirreeThe devil ain't lazy - no sirreeHe likes to see us fight and fussmakes us mean enough to cussthen he blames it all on usHe works 24 hours a day The devil ain't lazy - no sirree The devil ain't lazy - no sirree He travels like a lightnin' streak and strikes from town to townand if he gets you when you're weakhe'll tear your playhouse downThe devil ain't lazy - no sirreeThe devil ain't lazy - no sirreeHe tells us he won't hurt a flythen he makes us steal and liekeeps us sinnin' 'til we dieHe works 24 hours a dayAlright......(16 bar musical Interlude)Oh the devil ain't lazy - no sirreeThe devil ain't lazy - no sirreeHe gets his pitchfork out each nightgives the folks an awful frightI think he does it just for spiteHe works 24 hours a dayThe devil ain't lazy - no sirreeThe devil ain't lazy - no sirreeTells us how to find successhe knows we'll wind up in distressthe de-vil is an aw-ful messHe works 24 hours a dayHe likes to see things scorch and burnso don't make no excuseif he catches you he'll turn you anyway but looseThe devil ain't lazy - no sirreeThe devil ain't lazy - no sirreeSo if ya' think you're strong and bravesmart enough to not behaveyou've got one foot in the graveHe works 24 hours a day!
