This is a song of the old time proverbs yay
This is a song of the old time proverbs, hey, hey
How water walk go a pumpkin belly? Whoa, whoah
Who asks me dat, nuh me ole time granny
From down inna country
She said saw I want to know
She said saw I want to know-oh- oh
How water walk go a pumpkin belly?
Lord God have mercy, hey
Who aks me dat, nuh me ole time granny
From down inna country
Grandma, oh yes I know, I won't tell you now
She said saw, seem like your selling cow (telling a lie)
Seem like your selling holy-cow
How water walk go a pumpkin belly? Whoa-oh-oh

To gain-gain, to gain-gain

Hey, hey, hey, hey
But grandma, I am young, you better have sympathy
So, it would be better if you ask my mummy, hey, hey
