Paul Mills Lyr Req: Sassafras (Modern Folk Quartet) (37) Lyr Add: SASSAFRAS (Billy Edd Wheeler) 17 May 99


Hey LEJ...

That's the song alright. Here's the rest of the lyrics:

Way down yonder in the tall grass
A little bitty woman called Sassafras
A wiggle in her walk and a tickle in her talk
And a funny way of puttin' on the class

First day I kissed her in the swimmin' hole
I kissed her in the water and dontcha know
The steam from the water rose high as the sky
And the old swimmin' hole went dry

The next day I kissed her in the city park
The bells started ringin' and it got dark
The army and the navy couldn't keep the people calm
They thought it was a hydrogen bomb

So tell all the neighborhood boys
I'm the one that's makin all the noise
Cause a little cup of tea knocked the heart outa me
And that cup of tea was Sassafras.

Well I'm very sorry gotta go now
Me and my baby gonna make a vow
Gonna get married gonna raise a family
Gonna raise 'em on Sassafras tea.

OK you song sleuths...get to work!

Cheers,

PM
