Well, Billy Joe told me ,well everything’s lookin’ fine
He got the place all secure, got the icebox full of wine
He said, now hurry on all and don’t be late
I got three lovely ladies who just won’t wait
We’ll do some down south jukin’, lookin’ for some peace of mind

Now put your Sunday pants, lets get out on the road
We’ve been workin’ all week and I think its time we let go
We got three fine mamas sitting all alone
Gonna sip our wine, gonna get it on
And do some down south jukin, lookin’ for some peace of mind

Well, come Monday morning we’ll be headed out to the the field
We’ll be doin’ everything for Papa and ol’ Uncle Bill
Well, come Friday night we’ll be headed to town
Tryin’ to pick up any woman hanging around
And do some down south jukin’, lookin’ for some peace of mind
And do some down south jukin’, lookin’ for some peace of mind
And do some down south jukin’, lookin’ for a peace of mind
