Lyrics

Hambone, Hambone, where you been? 'Round the world and I'm a-goin' again What you gonna do when you get back? Take a little walk by the railroad track Hambone, Hambone, where's your wife? Out in the kitchen a-cookin' up rice Hambone! Hambone! Hambone! Hambone, Hambone, have you heard? Papa's gonna buy me a mockingbird If that mockingbird don't sing Papa's gonna buy me a diamond ring If that diamond ring don't shine Papa's gonna take me to the five-and-dime Hambone! Hambone! Hambone! Hambone, Hambone, tryin' to eat Ketchup on his elbow, pickle on his feet Bread in the basket, chicken in the stew Supper on the fire for me and you Look at him holler, look at him moan That Hambone just can't Hambone Hambone! Hambone! Hambone! Hambone, Hambone, Hambone Hambone, Hambone, Hambone Hambone, Hambone, Hambone Hambone, Hambone Hambone skinned the Ante-Cap To make his wife a Sunday hat He took the hide right off a goat To make his wife a Sunday coat Hambone, Hambone, Hambone Hambone, Hambone, Hambone Hambone, Hambone, Hambone Hambone, Hambone, Hambone Hambone!
