Grandma Mary

Joe Tex

Children, come and get this
Bread while it's hot
One of y'all finish this little
Dab of mustard greens so I can wash my pot
You don't have enough to eat
Just fill up on water, yeah
Thank the Lord for this little bit we got

Mama's somewhere workin', and daddy's
Runnin' the street, yeah
Went a-just around the corner, ain't
Got shoes on our feet, no
Grandma Mary is workin' at
Miss Thomas' house today, yeah
She's gonna ask Mrs thomas if
She's got some more
Shoes to throw away, woah
I hope we get some shoes today, woah
I hope we get some shoes today, y'all

Mary Ann said you was uptown
Playin' that slot machine, boy
You know I told you I would whip you
If you еver played that thing again, yeah
And you tеll some lies of mixed kind
Hit your head on the ground, yeah
I'll be so glad your mama come
And take you onto Baytown

Now run to the store, tell Mr
Hill to send me some meat, yeah
Tell him your grandma
Said she'll come by and pay him next week
Yeah oh, and while you at the store
Don't let him forget my little snuff, no
The doctor said to stop dippin'
But Lord, I got to have a little snuff, woah
So don't forget your grandma's snuff, woah
So don't forget your grandma's snuff, son

Hey y'all, let's pitch in and
Get grandma somethin' nice, yeah
She ain't been nowhere
She's been babysittin' all of her life
Yeah all of her life she's been carryin'
A baby around on each hip, yeah
Now what you say we pitch in
And give our grandma a little trip, ha, woah
Let's give our grandma a little trip, woah
Let's give our grandma a little trip
(Y'all)
Take that baby off of granny's hip, y'all
And granny's gonna take a little trip
Y'all
Now how 'bout a trip for a sip, y'all?

No-for-good stuff on her lip, y'all
Granny's got to a have a little sip, y'all
