This song has been in my head all week and WON'T leave until I get it right!!!! Think I'm missing lines, verses. Anyone know its origins....who wrote..performed...recorded it and when?? I remember and can do the "body drumming" ok....not sure if the lyrics I remember so far are accurate either. Any corrections/additional info is GREATLY appreciated!!! What I have so far is:Hambone, hambone, have you heard
Momma's gonna buy you a mockingbird
and if that mockingbird don't shine
Momma's gonna buy you a bottle of wine
and if that bottle of wine gets broke
momma's gonna buy you a nanny goat
and if that nanny goat runs away
momma's gonna slap your boom-te-yea
hambone, hambone
Seems to me the song is much longer...and YES...I did check the DT...and Forum...found reference to "Willie Hambone Newbern" wondering if he's the author????????
