Ain't It Funny

Loretta Lynn · Honky Tonk Girl: The Loretta Lynn Collection [1994]

(Tracey Lee)



The sun comes up and brings the dawn turn to day

The kids run out to play the game like kids all play

To child the world is milk and honey a dime is a lot a can be money

Oh, ain't it funny, now ain't it funny.



Running barefoot through the fields in the rain

Chasin' pretty butterflies in the lane

The world's a mess and they wonder why

Oh, what a pretty blue blue sky

Gee, ain't it funny, now ain't it funny.



The kids all say grown ups are strange and aren't they

They teach their kids not to do as I do but as I say

They cry for peace and then make wars

And wonder what they're fighting for.



Oh, ain't it funny, now ain't it funny?

Oh, gee ain't it funny, now ain't it funny?
