Deacon’s Son Lyrics by The Barr Brothers

The Barr Brothers

2011

I'm a deacon's son
Lazy as the day is long
Could be anyone
But I'm a deacon's son

Have a one-eyed dog
Scaring up the hens and hogs
Scaring up the hens and hogs
Have a one-eyed dog

Found a little friend
Buried in the rocks and sands
Buried in the rocks and sand
Found a little friend

I'm a deacon's son
Lazy as the day is long
Lazy as the day is long
I'm a deacon's son

Gonna see if you wanna
Go look at the fauna
Walking in the moonlight
Something has really chilled ya
I just wanna thrill ya
And nothing more

Have a one-eyed dog
Scaring up the hens and hogs
Scaring up the hens and hogs
Have a one-eyed dog

I'm a deacon's son
Lazy as the day is long
As the day is long
I'm a deacon's son

Gonna see if you wanna
Go look at the fauna
Walking in the moonlight
Something has really chilled ya
I just wanna thrill ya
And nothing more
Funny we really thought it
To be so hypnotic
With the lights on the water
