Chewing Gum

(专辑： The Carter Family Volume 1 - 1927-1934 - 2002)

Mama sent me to the spring
She told me not to stay
I fell in love with a pretty little girl
Could not get away

Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum

First she give me peaches
Next she give me pears
Next she give me fifty cents
Kissed me on the stairs

Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum

Mama don't 'low me to whistle
Papa don't 'low me to sing
They don't want me to marry
I'll marry just the same

Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum

I wouldn't have a lawyer
I'll tell you the reason why
Every time he opens his mouth
Tells a great big lie

Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum

I wouldn't have a doctor
I'll tell you the reason why
He rides all over the country
And makes the people die

Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum

I wouldn't have a farmer
I'll tell you the reason why
Because he has so plenty to eat
Specially pumpkin pie

Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum

I took my girl to church last night
How do you reckon she done
She walked right up to the preacher's face
And chewed her chewing gum

Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
