Merle Haggard — Shade Tree Fix-It-Man

[Chorus] Yeah I'm a shade tree fix-it man I don't need any helping hand I'm a Jack-of-all-trades When I'm working in the shade I'm a shade tree fix-it man [Verse 1] Well I headed out a west from Arkansas My Ruby ran fine for a while Then a rock started knocking A gauge started rocking She wouldn't run another mile But on that downhill drag, I coasted for awhile Till I found me a shady inn I started huffing and a-puffing Started fretting and a-sweating But I soon had her running again [Chorus] 'Cause I'm a shade tree fix-it man I don't need any helping hand I'm a Jack-of-all-trades When I'm working in the shade I'm a shade tree fix-it man [Verse 2] About noon the next day, I was back on the road I had her running right on out While I was wheeling and a-dealing I got a funny feeling That my baby kind of felt left out Oh I found me a shade by the side of the road I fixed everything up fine with a little bit of loving And a few minutes later we was rolling on down the line [Chorus] 'Cause I'm a shade tree fix-it man I don't need any helping hand I'm a Jack-of-all-trades When I'm working in the shade I'm a shade tree fix-it man [Bridge] One more time! [Chorus] I'm a shade tree fix-it man I don't need any helping hand I'm a Jack-of-all-trades When I'm working in the shade I'm a shade tree fix-it man Yea I'm a shade tree fix-it man I don't need any helping hand I'm a Jack-of-all-trades When I'm working in the shade I'm a shade tree fix-it man
