3 My mother, she told me to give him a chair. For the girls wouldn't have him;
I gave him a chair and he looked mighty quare, With his old shoes on and his leggin's.
4 My mother she told me to hang up his hat, Oh, but I wouldn't have him!
I hung up his hat and he kicked at the cat, With his old shoes on and his leggin's.
5 My mother she told me to give him some meat. Oh, but I wouldn't have him!
I gave him some meat and oh, how he did eat, With his old shoes on and his leggin's.
6 Mamma told me to bake him a pie, Oh, but I wouldn't have him!
I baked him a pie and he swore he ate a fly, With his old shoes on and his leggin's.
7 My mother she told me to give him a hoe, Oh, but I wouldn't have him!
I gave him a hoe and he jumped Jim Crow, With his old shoes on and his leggings.
8 Mamma told me to bake him a cake, Oh, but I wouldn't have him!
I baked him a cake and he swore he ate a snake, With his old shoes on and his leggings.
9 My mother she told me to give him a saw, Oh, but I wouldn't have him!
I gave him a saw and he played "Rye Straw," With his old shoes on and his leggin's.
10 My mother she told me to put him to bed, Oh, but I wouldn't have him! I put him to bed and he stood on his head, With his old shoes on and his leggin's.
