"Foolin' Around" lyrics

When I was just a young boy
Not more than ten or eleven

That's a time in life
When I had a lot of time on my hands

I'd spend those lazy crazy summer days
Just a-fooling around
On the banks
On the banks
Of Red River
Of Red River
Just a fooling around

Fool fool fool fool fool fooling around

Climb up in a big oak tree
With my old dog looking up at me
Kind of puzzled
He don't know
Just what to think

Sliding down the banks on the seat
Man, I that was really neat

That's a time in life
When I had a lot of time on my hands

Fool fool fool fool fool fooling around
Just fool fool fool fool fool fooling around

Lying in the shade of the trees
Dreaming about what I wanted to be
Fishing with my own cane pole
The fun I had nobody knows

That time in life
When I had a lot of time on my hands

Now
I'm all grown-up
And now
My time is rushed
And now
Those days have turned to dust
And now
I'd like to catch a bus
To the time in life
When I had a lot of time on my hands

I'd spend those lazy crazy summer days
Just a fooling around
On the banks
Of Red River
Of Red River

Just a-fooling around
Fool fool fool fool fool fooling around
Just a-fooling around
Fool fool fool fool fool fooling around

I'm just fooling around
Fool fool fooling around
I'm just fool fool fool fool fool fooling around

Just fooling around
Fool fool fool fool fool fooling around
I'm just
Fool fool fool fool fool fooling around
I'm just
Fool fool fool fool fool fooling around
I'm just fooling around
