Bài hát Take An Old Cold 'Tater (And Wait) Báo Lỗi

When I was a little boy around the table at home

I remember very well when company would come

I would have to be right still until the whole crowd ate

My mama always said to me Jim take a tater and wait.


Now taters never did taste good with chicken on a plate

But I had to eat 'em just the same

That is why I look so bad and have these puny ways

Because I always had to take an old cold tater and wait.

And then the preachers they would come to stay awhile with us

I would have to slip around and raise a little fuss

In fear that I will spill the beans or break a china plate

My mama always said to me Jim take a tater and wait.


Now taters never did taste good with chicken on a plate

But I had to eat 'em just the same

That is why I look so bad and have these puny ways

Because I always had to take an old cold tater and wait.

Well, I thought that I'd starve to death before my time would come

All that chicken they would eat and just leave me the bun

The feet and neck were all that's left upon the china plate

It makes you pretty darn weak to take an old cold tater and wait.


Well, taters never did taste good with chicken on a plate

But I had to eat 'em just the same

That is why I look so bad and have these puny ways

Because I always had to take an old cold tater and wait...
