Hambone!
Hambone, Hambone, where you been?
Around the world and I'm going again
What you gonna do when you come back?
Take a little walk by the railroad track
Hambone, Hambone, where's your wife?
Out in the kitchen cooking rice
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, trying to eat
Ketchup on his elbow, pickle on his feet
Bread in the basket, chicken in the stew
Supper's on the table for me and you
Look at him holler, look at him moan
That Hambone just can't Hambone
Hambone, Hambone, Hambone
Yes, Hambone, Hambone, Hambone
Hambone, Hambone, Hambone
Hambone (Hambone!)
Hambone skinned the alley cat
To make his wife a Sunday hat
Took the hide right off the goat
To make his wife a Sunday coat
Hambone, Hambone
Oh, Hambone, Hambone, Hambone
(Guess what?)
Hambone, that's what!
