Sassafras

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Way down yonder in the tall grass A little bitty woman named Sassafras A wiggle in her walk and a tickle in her talk And a funny way of puttin' on the class [Verse 2] They say white lightning's in a jar Clear as water but it's hot as fire That may be true but I'm tellin' you A glass can't hold Sassafras [Chorus] So, tell all the neighborhood boys I'm the one that's makin' all the noise And a little cup of tea Knocked the heart out of me And that cup of tea was Sassafras [Verse 3] First time I kissed her in the city park Bells started ringin', and it got dark The army and the navy couldn't keep the people calm They thought it was a hydrogen bomb [Verse 4] Next day I kissed her in the swimmin' hole I kissed her in the water and dontcha know Steam from the water rose high in the sky And the old swimmin' hole went dry [Chorus] So, tell all the neighborhood boys I'm the one that's makin' all the noise 'Cause a little cup of tea Knocked the heart out of me And that cup of tea was Sassafras [Verse 5] I'm very sorry gotta go now Me and my baby gonna take a vow Gonna get married, gonna raise a family Gonna raise 'em on Sassafras tea [Chorus] So, tell all the neighborhood boys I'm the one that's makin' all the noise 'Cause a little cup of tea Knocked the heart out of me And that cup of tea was Sassafras [Outro] A little cup of tea Knocked the heart out of me And that cup of tea was Sassafras
