My mama tol’ me,
Papa sat down an’ cried,
Mama tol’ me,
Papa sat down an’ cried,
Well he said, “Son, you too big a devil,
Wo, to be so foolish and wise.”
Hey mama, mam-o, you don’t know, (2)
Hefty women kill me, mama,
Please, please let me go.
Sometimes I be wearin’ a hat,
Sometimes she wears a tam,
Sometimes she wears a hat,
Sometimes she wears a tam,
She’s got some bad big legs,
And they shaped like Georgia hams.VIEW COMPLETE FEWER LYRICS
