Whoa Back, Buck |
18, 19--20 years ago, |
Took my gal to the country store, |
Took my gal to the country store, |
Buy m' pretty little gal little calico. |
Me and my gal walkin' down the road, |
Her knees knock together playin' «Sugar In The Gourd», |
Sugar in the gourd and the gourd in the ground, |
If you want a little sugar got to roll the gourd around. |
My old man’s good old man |
Washed his face in a frying pan, |
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel, |
And died with a toothache in his heel. |
Papa loved mama---mama loved men,(three times) |
Mama’s in the graveyard and papa’s in the pen. |
I gee to the mule but the mule wouldn’t gee, (3 times) |
So I hit him side the head with the single tree. |
I haw to the mule wouldn’t haw, (3 times) |
So I broke his back with my mother-in-law. |
