Reunion

Mama can I huh, Mama can I huh, huh

Can I mama, won't you please let me, Mama can I, huh

Thats the sweetest little dress, Sally where'd you get the pattern

Made me one just like it out of yellow dotted swiss

Yes 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)

Mama make Willie quit pulling at my hair

Mama ouch! ouch! Mama, just make Willie quit it

Tommy if ya don't put down that stick

I'm gonna wear you out with it, boy, be quick

Come quick, Sammy 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)

Now I told you my mama didn't raise no fool

I can do anything if I got the right tools

Mama can I huh, Mama can I huh, huh

Can I mama, won't you please let me, Mama can I, huh

The crops been failing, lord it sure is dry

You'd think that we'd a sprinkle by and by

(Family reunion)

Gonna tear you up girl, gonna get a switchin

Better Tell your cousin that your sorry that you hit her

(Abby MaGiunness in love with Aybel's oldest boy

It's opt to kill their ma)

If I told you once, its been a thousand times

Quit askin' your Uncle's for nickels and dimes

Mama make Willie quit it, pulling at my hair

Mama ouch! ouch! Mama, just make Willie quit it

I told you my mama didn't raise no fool

I can do anything if I got the right tools

(Family reunion)

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 I don't

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)

I told you my mama didn't raise no fool

I can do anything if I got the right tools

Mama make Willie quit, bitin' at me

Mama ouch! ouch! Mama, just make Willie quit it

Why yes, I guess

And don't ya look nice in your Sunday dress

Doesn't Sally look tacky in her silly little dress

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

(Can you imagine, she let her daughter Rosalie

Go off to Memphis by herself)

Mama can I huh, Mama can I huh, huh

Can I mama, won't you please let me, Mama can I, huh
