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

[00:00:03] Written by：Eugene Bartlett

[00:00:06] When I was a little boy around the table at home

[00:00:10] I remember fairly well when a company would come

[00:00:15] I would have to be right still untill the whole crowd ate

[00:00:20] My mamma always said to me Jim take a tater and wait

[00:00:25] Now taters never did taste good 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 and have these puny ways

[00:00:39] Because I always had to take an old cold tater and wait

[00:01:05] And then the preachers they would come

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

[00:01:10] I would have to simp 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 mamma always said to me Jim take a tater and wait

[00:01:25] Now taters never did taste good 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 and have these puny ways

[00:01:39] Because I always had to take an old cold tater and wait

[00:02:06] Well I thought that I would starve to death

[00:02:08] Before my time would come

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

[00:02:13] And just leave me the butt

[00:02:15] The feet and neck were all that was left

[00:02:17] Upon the china plate

[00:02:20] It makes ya pretty darn weak

[00:02:21] To take an old cold tater and wait

[00:02:26] Well taters never did taste good with chicken on the plate

[00:02:30] But I had to eat 'em just the same

[00:02:35] That is why I look so bad and have these puny ways

[00:02:39] Because I always had to take an old cold tater and wait
