Deacon's Son Lyrics

I’m a deacon’s son
Lazy as the day is long
Could be anyone,
But I’m a deacon’s son

Have a one eyed dog
Scaring up the hens and hogs
Scaring up the hens and hogs
Have a one-eyed dog

Found a little friend
Buried in the rocks and sands
Buried in the rocks and sand
Found a little friend

I’m a deacon’s son
Lazy as the day is long
Lazy as the day is long
I’m a deacons son

Gonna see if you wanna
Go look at the fauna
Walking in the moonlight

Something’s has really chilled ya
I just wanna thrill ya
And nothing more

Have a one eyed dog
Scaring up the hens and hogs
Scaring up the hens and hogs
Have a one-eyed dog

I’m a deacon’s son
Lazy as the day is long
As the day is long
I’m a deacon’s son

Gonna see if you wanna
Go look at the fauna
Walking in the moonlight

Something’s has really chilled ya
I just wanna thrill ya
And nothing more

Funny we really thought is
To be so hypnotic
With the lights on the water

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
