Well, down on the corner talking to the boys Talking 'bout Christmas and Christmas toys Somebody pulled a bottle and pulled out the cork I woke up at home it'd been a long time dark Hollerin', "Mama! A-come here to me" "Mama! Hear what I said", now, "Mama! A-come here to me And put a cold, cold towel on my big long head" I went back to the corner to see what I'd done Everybody said I'd had a lot of fun I don't remember 'cause I don't know They said the last time they'd seen me I was headin' for the door Hollerin', "Mama! A-come here to me" "Mama! Hear what I said", "Mama! A-come here to me And put a cold, cold towel on my big long head" Yeah, I'm danicin' and a-prancin' at a road side inn The joint started jumpin' and the fun begin A-skippin' and a-hoppin' all over the place Till the floor flew up and hit me in the face I hollered, "Mama! A-come here to me" "Mama! Hear what I said", "Mama! A-come here to me And put a cold, cold towel on this poor boy's head" And a watermelon patch feelin' mighty fine Slippin' in a watermelon one at a time Somebody hollered, "Halt!", I throws in my tracks I got a full load of birdshot in the bottom of my back I hollered, "Mama! A-come here to me" "Mama! Hear what I said", "Mama! A-come here to me And put a cold, cold towel on my big long head"
