《Take an Old Cold ’Tater》歌词

[00:00:05] when i was a little boy

[00:00:07] around the table at home

[00:00:10] i remember very well

[00:00:12] when company would come

[00:00:15] i would have to be right still

[00:00:17] unil the whole crowd ate

[00:00:19] my mama always said to me

[00:00:22] jim take a tater and wait

[00:00:25] now taters never did taste good

[00:00:27] with chicken on the plate

[00:00:30] but i had to eat 'em just the same

[00:00:34] that is why i look so bad

[00:00:36] and have these puny ways

[00:00:38] cause i always had to

[00:00:40] take an old cold tater and wait

[00:01:04] and then the preachers

[00:01:05] they would come

[00:01:06] to stay a while with us

[00:01:09] i would have to slip around

[00:01:11] and raise a little fuss

[00:01:14] in fear that i would spill the beans

[00:01:16] or break a china plate

[00:01:18] my mama always said to me

[00:01:21] jim take a tater and wait

[00:01:24] now taters never did taste good

[00:01:27] with chicken on the plate

[00:01:29] but i had to eat 'em just the same

[00:01:33] that is why i look so bad

[00:01:36] and have these puny ways

[00:01:38] because i always had to

[00:01:40] take an old cold tater and wait

[00:02:04] well i thought that

[00:02:05] i would starve to death

[00:02:06] before my time would come

[00:02:09] all that chicken they would eat

[00:02:11] and just leave me the bun

[00:02:14] the feet and neck were all that was left

[00:02:16] upon the china plate

[00:02:18] it makes ya pretty darn weak

[00:02:20] to take an old cold tater and wait

[00:02:24] well taters never did taste good

[00:02:26] with chicken on the plate

[00:02:29] but i had to eat 'em just the same

[00:02:33] that is why i look so bad

[00:02:35] and have these puny ways

[00:02:38] because i always had to

[00:02:39] take an old cold tater and wait
