Oh, Momma's gonna buy me a coat
Yes, Momma's gonna buy me a coat
She ain't gonna give me no knitted hat
But I guess she's gonna buy me a coat

So I'm-a gonna get her a book
Oh, I'm-a gonna get her a book
I ain't gonna give her no solemn stares
But I guess I'm gonna get her a book

So Then, Momma took me aside
Oh, yes, Momma took me aside
She say she don't believe in my story none
But If so, she would be takin my side

So, I'ma gonna find a few friends
Yes I'ma gonna find a few friends
They gonna give me all the help I need
To maybe gain some common sense

But I guess that it really depends
