ol' Pa'll gets a 'tater"
Ma said, "Look around here," and there she stands
with a 'mater
She, you know it done me good to see them
old folks talk to each other
Because Ma said, "I'll meet you in the
Soup and we'll be all messed
up together"
Don't you know that was a
mess that day? I'm tellin' you

I didn't think they'd get  (A major) around like that,
you know
G 
But they,  (G major) they're always
D 
G 
A 
 (D major) dancin'  (G major)  (A major)
