I was vacuunin' with a Filter Queen 'neath the sewin' machine
I said don't mind, but it wasn't clean I am the one
Who will clean the house all around
She said I am the one who'll wash the clothes in the round

She told me take off, my old jeans, as she checked the seam
Then my head turned and saw the stain I'd left with 'shine
"Throw your pants, on the floor, near the round"

She had always told me be careful when you drink
And don't go around drinkin' shine too hard
And mother always told me be careful wear a glove
And be careful of a goose 'cause he might just get loose

Chorus
Blue jeans were my cover
But now they've come undone
Got to dry - out in the sun
But now they're undone, got to dry out in the sun

For forty days and forty nights
They just hung on my side
But who can stand old dirty pants
Worn seams and sand
"put your pants, in the floor, near the round"
So take my soap of lye, just remember to always rinse twice
(do rinse twice)

My poor ol' baby, she washed till 3:00
Then she looked at me, she saw an ol' dough-dough
My baby cried, 'cause the stain stayed behind

She had always told me be careful when you drink
And don't go around drinkin' shine too hard
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She sent me to my room

Blue jeans were my cover
Now they hanginn' to dry in the sun
But the threads have come undone
Blue jeans were my cover
Now they hanginn' to dry in the sun
But the threads have come undone
hangin' out in the sun, the threads have come undone
hangin' out in the sun, the threads have come undone
Blue jeans were my cover
Now all threads, have come undone
hanginn' to dry, in the sun
hangin' out in the sun, the threads have come undone
hangin' out in the sun, the threads have come undone
Got to dry in the sun
Blue jeans were my cover
Blue jeans were my cover . . .
