Cornmeal - Hasten Jason текст песни

Hasten Jason words and music by Dave Burlingame

chorus
Hasten Jason get the basin, fill it up and put your face in, take the soap that's on the rope it's hanging from the door, use the Johnson's no more tears and kindly wash behind your ears, oops slop, get the mop yer spillin' on the floor

Now when I was a boy, my only pride and joy
As a shovel meant for digging up the ground
Twas in my Sunday shirt, I's digging in the dirt
My momma made me lay that shovel down

She said,
chorus

Now when I got a little older
I started digging coal down in a mine
When I got home my mom would look me over
She said get back out and wash off some of that grime

She said,
chorus

Well now I am a man, and I've come to understand
The reason momma used to scold me so
I've got a boy of my own and whenever I come home
He's covered up in dirt from head to toe

I say,
chorus
