Jim Guthrie - Turn Musician lyrics

An honest farmer once had an a** That had been a faithful servant To him many years But now it was growing old And every day more Was unfit to work Therefore his master thought He'd put him down It was an ugly thought That he'd put him down But the a** knew what was up He'd seen that look before And went so slyly off His journey to the city Would begin Where he thought I may turn musician On his way he found a troubled dog Troubled cause his master Tried to knock him on the head Alas, said the a** Let's begin Where in the city We'll turn musician Don't be a chicken Turn Musician Don't be a cow Rock now Don't be a chicken Turn Musician Don't be a cow Rock now Don't be a chicken Turn Musician
