Well I'm a red hot picker I'm a six string tickler I'm a finger pickin' whadda ya know Well I'm a time bomb ticker a real bumper sticker Stand back honey here I go Well I met a little cutie a real sweet patooty So I figured well I'll come on slow I said my name is Reed and I got what ya need Honey hang around till after the show Well after about an hour of the Wildwood Flower I had done slipped out of my thumb pickin' When up walks a dude starts comin' on rude And said son I'm wise to your trick He said now listen here mister you're messin' with my sister Made a two handed fist out of one hand Well right then I discovered he ain't no music lover
And me I'm a travellin' man Whoa I'm a red hot picker I'm a six string tickler... I'm gettin' ready here I go Well now some time later I met another sweet tater I said honey I'm a hog about you Just as I was gettin' bolder felt a hand on my shoulder Turned around and he was six-foot two He said I don't think ya oughta cause this here is my daughter And there's one more thing son you might know That if you ain't quicker than my big frog sticker Then that's gonna be all she wrote I said son I'm a red hot picker I'm a six string tickler I'm a finger pickin' whadda ya know I'm a buffalo nickel a solid dill pickle Stand back cause here I go
