《Take an Old Cold ’Tater (and Wait)》歌词

[00:00:00] Take An Old Cold 'Tater (And Wait) - "Little" Jimmy Dickens

[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
