When I was a little boy,
A
D
barefooted I'd like to go
Bm
B
In the spring or summertime,
Eb
E
A
there was no ice or snow
D
When I was tired and nearly dead,
G
Gm
these are the words that
Mama said
D
B
Go and wash those dirty feet
E
D
before you go to bed
When I would get out of school,
E
A
D
I could hardly wait
B
I'd have my brogands in my hand
E
A
before I'd hit the gate
D
I'd romp and play till nearly dead,
G
Gm
that same old line mama always said

When winters passed and the violets blew
D
E
A
And the springtime rolled around
D
B
My tiny feet got to itching so to
E

touch the cuckoo ground
D
But I remember what
G
Mama said, those words still
Gm
echo through my head
D
B

Go and wash those dirty feet before you
D

go to bed

G
Gm
D
I'd draw the water from the well
E
A
D
and grab the old wash pan
Bm
Just a fussin' and a fumin'
B
E
A
like any ordinary man
D
But if I brushed them off instead,
G
Gm
D
mama would make my bottom red
B
Go and wash those dirty
E
A
D
feet before you go to bed
