Take an Old Cold Tater (And Wait) - "Little" Jimmy Dickens/Dixie Blue Boys[00:00:00]
When I was A little boy[00:00:07]
Around the table at home [00:00:09]
I remember very well[00:00:11]
When Company would come [00:00:13]
I would have to be right still[00:00:16]
Unil the whole crowd ate [00:00:18]
My mama always said to me[00:00:20]
Jim take a tater and wait [00:00:23]
Now taters never did taste good[00:00:26]
With chicken on the plate [00:00:28]
But I had to eat 'em just the same [00:00:31]
That is why I look so bad[00:00:35]
And have these puny ways [00:00:38]
Cause I always had to[00:00:39]
Take an old cold tater and wait [00:00:41]
And then the preachers[00:01:05]
They would come[00:01:06]
To stay a while with us [00:01:07]
I would have to slip around[00:01:10]
And raise a little fuss[00:01:12]
In fear that I would spill the beans[00:01:14]
Or break a china plate[00:01:17]
My mama always said to me[00:01:19]
Jim take a tater and wait [00:01:22]
Now taters never did taste good[00:01:25]
With chicken on the plate [00:01:28]
But I had to eat 'em just the same [00:01:30]
That is why I look so bad[00:01:34]
And have these puny ways [00:01:36]
Because I always had to[00:01:38]
Take an old cold tater and wait [00:01:41]
Well I thought that[00:02:05]
I would starve to death[00:02:06]
Before my time would come [00:02:07]
All that chicken they would eat[00:02:10]
And just leave me the bun [00:02:12]
The feet and neck were all that was left[00:02:14]
Upon the china plate [00:02:16]
It makes ya pretty darn weak[00:02:19]
To take an old cold tater and wait [00:02:20]
Well taters never did taste good[00:02:25]
With chicken on the plate [00:02:27]
But I had to eat 'em just the same [00:02:29]
That is why I look so bad[00:02:34]
And have these puny ways [00:02:36]
Because I always had to[00:02:37]
Take an old cold tater and wait[00:02:40]
