[CHORUS]
Lazy, lazy Elsie Molly
Put the pack back on your back

Lazy, lazy Elsie Molly
Carry it on down
To the railroad track


There's a girl down
By the railroad tracks

Used to carry coal on her back
Till she met that gentleman Jack
That lazy Elsie Molly


[Repeat CHORUS]


Elsie Molly's been looking so fine
She won't go to work in the mine
She lays in bed 'til eight or nine

That Lazy Elsie Molly

[Repeat CHORUS]


Do do do do...
Put the pack

Back on your back

Jack and Elsie's

Been a strutting around
He bought her a wig
And a purple gown


Now she's the
Best dressed miner in town

That Lazy Elsie Molly

[Repeat CHORUS]


Girl, put the pack
Back on your back


[Repeat CHORUS 2x]
