(Merle Haggard) 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 workin' in the shade I'm a shade tree-fix-it man. Well, I headed out of west from Arkansas My Ruby ran fine for a while Then a rock started knockin' a guage started rockin' She wouldn't run another mile. But on that downhill drag I coasted for awhile Till I found me a shady inn I started huffin' and a puffin', started a frettin' and a sweatin' But I soon had her runnin' again. '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 workin' in the shade I'm a shade tree-fix-it man. --- Instrumental --- 'Bout noon the next day I was back on the road I had her running on out While I was wheelin' and a dealin' I got a funny feelin' If my baby kinda felt this doubt. Oh, I found me a shade by the side of the road I fixed everything up fine With a little bit of lovin' in a few minutes later We was rolling on down the line. 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 workin' in the shade I'm a shade tree-fix-it man. One more time 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 workin' in the shade I'm a shade tree-fix-it man. 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 workin' in the shade I'm a shade tree-fix-it man...
