Píseň: Cornbread And 'Lasses (Sassafras Tea)

Interpret:
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Album:
Rare Junk
Come here girls and listen to my noise
Don't you marry an Arkansas boy
Marry a feller from Tennessee, eat
Cornbread, and 'lasses and sassafras tea
Cornbread, and 'lasses and sassafras tea.


Traveled all over this whole wide world
Eat a lotta cookin' from a lotta pretty girls
But there's none like Tennessee
With cornbread, and 'lasses and sassafras tea
Cornbread, 'lasses and sassafras tea.


Well, Grandpa Snazzy lives on the hill
He ain't never died and I guess he never will
The neighbours all around say he's ninety three
The old man's happy as he can be eatin'
Cornbread, 'lasses and sassafras tea
Cornbread, 'lasses and sassafras tea.


Well, old Uncle Bill on his dyin' bed
He called 'em all around and then he said
My last request, please, let it be
Cornbread, 'lasses and sassafras tea
Cornbread, 'lasses and sassafras tea.


Well, come here, girls, and listen to my noise
Don't you marry an Arkansas boy
Marry a feller from Tennessee, eat
Cornbread, and 'lasses and sassafras tea
Cornbread, and 'lasses and sassafras tea.
