The Carter Family - Chewing Gum lyrics

[Verse 1] Mama sent me to the spring She told me not to stay I fell in love with a pretty little girl Could not get away [Chorus] Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum[x2] [Verse 2] First she give me peaches Then she give me pears Then she give me fifty cents Kissed me on the stairs [Chorus] [Verse 3] Mama don't 'low me to whistle Papa don't 'low me to sing They don't want me to marry I'll marry just the same [Chorus] [Verse 4] I wouldn't have a lawyer I'll tell you the reason why Every time he opens his mouth He tells a great big lie [Chorus] [Verse 5] I wouldn't have a doctor I'll tell you the reason why He rides all over the country Makes the people die [Chorus] [Verse 6] I wouldn't have a farmer I'll tell you the reason why Because he has so plenty to eat Specially pumpkin pie [Chorus] [Verse 7] I took my girl to church last night How do you reckon she done She walked right up to the preacher's face And chewed her chewing gum [Chorus]
