Eisler on the Go Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Eisler on the go
Eisler on the move
Brother is on the vinegar truck
And I don't know what I'll do

[Chorus]
Don't know what I'll do
I don't know what I'll do
Eisler's on the come and go
And I don't know what I'll do

[Verse 2]
Eisler on the farm
Eisler on the town
Sister in the tickly bush
And I don't know what I'll do

[Chorus]
Don't know what I'll do
I don't know what I'll do
Eisler's on the come and go
And I don't know what I'll do

[Verse 3]
Eisler on the boat
Eisler on the ship
Daddy on the henhouse roof
And I don't know what I'll do
[Chorus]
Don't know what I'll do
I don't know what I'll do
Eisler's on the come and go
And I don't know what I'll do

[Verse 4]
Eisler in the jail-o
Eisler back at home
Rankin scratch his head and cry
And I don't know what I'll do

[Chorus]
Don't know what I'll do
I don't know what I'll do
Eisler's on the come and go
And I don't know what I'll do

[Verse 5]
Eisler him write music
Eisler him teach school
Truman him don't play so good
And I don't know what I'll do

[Chorus]
Don't know what I'll do
I don't know what I'll do
Eisler's on the come and go
And I don't know what I'll do
[Outro]
Don't know what I'll do
I don't know what I'll do

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
