Hi Guys,
please do you have lyrics for Giving It Away by Birmingham Jug Band?
I tried to search the forum but I couldn't find it. I found only several mentioning of the song
but not the lyrics.

Hi Josef,
It's customary at the Weenie site for people requesting help with lyrics to post what they've been able to hear so far.  This indicates that you've at least put in an effort and aren't simply asking other people to do your work for you.  Perhaps English is not your first language, but please give it a try.
All best,
Johnm

You should have a go at it yourself slezakjosef, but here's what I've got:

Giving It Away

Woke up in the morning ?bout the break of day
I hugged the pillow where you used to lay
She can?t work

Said rooster chewed tobacco, the hen dipped snuff
Chicks can?t do it but they strut their stuff
Miss can?t work

Old Aunt Dinah she?s long and slim
When she starts to shake it, its too tight Jim
She can?t work

What did the rooster say to the hen?
Ain?t seen my woman in god knows when
Miss can?t work

Said a nickel is a nickel and a dime is a dime
Got a house full of children and none are mine
She just can?t work

Mamas got the rub-board, Papas got the tug
Well sisters got the whiskey and brothers got the jug
Miss can?t work

Wake up mama here the rooster crow
One at your window, one at your door
Just can?t work

Said the rooster crow and the hen walked ?round
Ain?t seen my woman since she leave this town
She can?t work
