marty robbins - the little shirt my mother made for me lyrics

Loading...

i can’t forget the day that i was born
was on a cold and frosty winter’s morn’
the doctor said i was a chubby chap
but when the nurse, she took me on her lap
she washed me all over i remember
and after powder-puffin’ me, you see
she laid me in the cradle by the window
in the little shirt my mother made for me.

when i began to crawl it was a sight
i used to frighten mom from morn’ til night
there’s no mistake i was a lttle curse
’cause when my daddy, he came home from work
every night he would say; “where’s little sam got?”
as down the kitchen, happy as could be
they used to find me scr-pin’ out the jam pot
in the little shirt my mother made for me.

the first day that i wore my knickerbocks
i felt so funny after wearin’ smocks
i looked a little picture, they did say
but when they let me out to run and play
well, i didn’t like the britches i was wearin’
and in the street i took ’em off, you see
i started walkin’ home so bold and darin’
in the little shirt my mother made for me.

last year when i was on my holiday
upon the briny ocean i did gaze
the water looked so nice i thought i’d go
to have a swim, but, in a minute, oh
all the girls along the beach at me were starin’
and some were takin’ pictures, i could see
was a good thing for me that i was wearin’
the little shirt my mother made for me.
