Go and Wash (Those Dirty Feet)

[Verse 1]
When I was a little boy bare-footed I'd like to go
In the spring or summertime there was no ice or snow
When I was tired and nearly dead these are the words that momma said
Go and wash those dirty feet before you go to bed

[Verse 2]
When I would get out off school I could hardly wait
I'd have my brogans in my hand before I'd hit the gate
I'd romp and play 'til nearly dead, that same old line momma always said
Go and wash those dirty feet before you go to bed

[Verse 3]
When winter's passed and the violets bloom and the springtime rolls around
My tiny feet got to itchin' so to touch the cool cool ground
But I remember what momma said those words still echo through my head
Go and wash those dirty feet before you go to bed

[Verse 4]
I'd draw the water from the well and grab the old wash can
Just a-fussin' and a-fumin' like any ordinary man
But if I brush them off instead momma would make my bottom red
Go and wash those dirty feet before you go to bed
