《Take an Old Cold Tater (And Wait)》歌词

[00:00:00] Take an Old Cold Tater (And Wait) - "Little" Jimmy Dickens/Dixie Blue Boys

[00:00:07] When I was A little boy

[00:00:09] Around the table at home

[00:00:11] I remember very well

[00:00:13] When Company would come

[00:00:16] I would have to be right still

[00:00:18] Unil the whole crowd ate

[00:00:20] My mama always said to me

[00:00:23] Jim take a tater and wait

[00:00:26] Now taters never did taste good

[00:00:28] With chicken on the plate

[00:00:31] But I had to eat 'em just the same

[00:00:35] That is why I look so bad

[00:00:38] And have these puny ways

[00:00:39] Cause I always had to

[00:00:41] Take an old cold tater and wait

[00:01:05] And then the preachers

[00:01:06] They would come

[00:01:07] To stay a while with us

[00:01:10] I would have to slip around

[00:01:12] And raise a little fuss

[00:01:14] In fear that I would spill the beans

[00:01:17] Or break a china plate

[00:01:19] My mama always said to me

[00:01:22] Jim take a tater and wait

[00:01:25] Now taters never did taste good

[00:01:28] With chicken on the plate

[00:01:30] But I had to eat 'em just the same

[00:01:34] That is why I look so bad

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

[00:01:38] Because I always had to

[00:01:41] Take an old cold tater and wait

[00:02:05] Well I thought that

[00:02:06] I would starve to death

[00:02:07] Before my time would come

[00:02:10] All that chicken they would eat

[00:02:12] 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

[00:02:19] It makes ya pretty darn weak

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

[00:02:25] Well taters never did taste good

[00:02:27] With chicken on the plate

[00:02:29] But I had to eat 'em just the same

[00:02:34] That is why I look so bad

[00:02:36] And have these puny ways

[00:02:37] Because I always had to

[00:02:40] Take an old cold tater and wait
