Thats the sweetest little dress,

Made me one just like it out of yellow dotted swiss

I guess we got the earliest garden in the county
Beneath the strawberries are a heap of snappin greenbeans (
It's been so long since
I saw you,
Hows your family
Too bad about your boy)

Jean stuck her finger in a
Coke bottle
Can't get it out cause its stuck, stuck, stuck (
Dad finally had his operation
You know how he is at putting off things)

Did it again, put her finger in a
Coke bottle
Can't get it out cause its stuck stuck stuck (
I heard this mornin' they dropped the
Tallahatchie river
And found poor
Billie gone)
Ah a little head cold, thats all ya have
You fix it right up with a jar of
Vic's salve
Its the first time ever that the family's been together
Its so nice that we all get along so well (
Family reunion)
He's got the money, you'd think that he'd
Try and do something for his mama before she died
Now
I don't mean to criticize your cookin', no

But
I think that ya could add a little bit of pepper (
Harvey,
I'd love to have your recipe, is that the cake you served last
Sunday)

You can see that she just doesn't know no better (

Rosalie
Go off to
Memphis by herself)
