Capo one
SOL
Poppa I know
DO RE
There's a frog on my toe
SOL DO
Maybe I'll call him Jethro
SOL
Maybe I'll grow up to be
DO
As wise, good as he
SOL RE SOL
And maybe I'll come back after you're long gone
SOL
Poppa I'm sure
DO
The worms have eaten you now
SOL RE DO
And Jethro's been on some Frenchy's plate long ago
SOL DO
Now I'm pretty sure that I listen to every word
SOL RE SOL
'cause I still hear you telling me still
SOL
"slap them boys when they're naughty
DO
Make 'em crawl, make you haughty
SOL
Make you strong, little girl
RE DO
You paint them toes the reddish colour
SOL
And you know one day
DO
You're gonna be bigger than a flea
SOL RE DO SOL
You're gonna be bigger than that old poison ivy tree"
SOL
Now I'm pretty sure
DO
That I think you'd come and visit
SOL RE DO
And talk sometimes kind of like gadget
SOL DO
A funny little chance like an Indian brave
SOL RE DO
He said "we all grew fat when the white man came"
SOL DO
But one day girl you're gonna learn to make 'em crawl
SOL
Make 'em grow tall
But have the grace
RE DO
To be a lady with disgrace
SOL
And you fry them 'taters
DO
And you make them with ladies
SOL RE DO SOL
Hands I know you're my pappy's baby
