When John Henry was a little baby,
Sittin' on his daddy's knee,
His daddy picked him, threw him on the floor
Said, "This baby's done wet on me, Lord Lord...."

Down in the West Texas town of El Paso
I ate some tortillas that made me get up and hurl.

Diaaaaaaaaaaarrhea when the wind comes whippin' down the plains
And it's sure is sweet
To make the seat
Before it fills up your new jeans....

As I walked down in the streets of Laredo
As I walked down in Laredo one day
I slipped in some dog poop and stained my white linen
And to clean it the laundry charged more than my pay.
