Charlie Poole & The North Carolina Ramblers - Sweet Sixteen lyrics

I had a Jane a long time ago, she was a sugar plum I loved her well but it's sad to tell, she'd chew her chewing gum There was no laws to stop her jaws which worked like a machine What could I do? So I let her chew, when she was sweet sixteen She chewed all day, chewed all night, that was going some She hardly stopped to chew her meals, she was so fond of gum She chewed and chawed, chawed and chewed, and her brand was wintergreen And while I wooed, this girl she chewed, when she was sweet sixteen She had a way so cute and gay of sticking gum around Down on the chairs or on the stairs those wads of gum was found I often cussed because they mussed my pa**ing plod unseen I had great luck in getting stuck on this day was sweet sixteen Some days have pa**ed since I stuck fast to that sweetheart of mine And now and then you'll find again a wad of gum divine I had a mat on which I sat and called her my colleen It's stuck to me and so has she since the day she was sixteen
