Philosophy Songtext
von Merle Travis

Let′s not worry, let's not fret
If it′s gonna rain, you might get wet
But if you do, don't stand and cry
'Cause 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 bent
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 ′long
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

Grandma used to say to me
"You got to face the world eventually
So take the bitter with the sweet
′Til you cross the sunny side of the street"

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?
′Cause there's your shadow, and 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 and you′ll never fail
But 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
