Subject: Lyr Add: WHEN I GET THE TIME
WHEN I GET THE TIME
As sung by Siegel-Schwall on "The Complete Vanguard Recordings & More!" (2001)

1. I was born in an old hollow log.
My daddy was a blacksnake; my mama was a frog.
Well, I were fightin' with bobcats afore I was two.
When I was five, I had a Johnny Conqueroo.

CHORUS: So all o' you women, come stand in a line,
An' I'll see 'bout you, baby, soon as I find the time.

2. All the men I know they just want to fight,
'Cause it's me keeps their little girls out late at night.
You know, they go around givin' me dirty-eyed looks,
But I'm hip to their jive an' I know just what cooks. CHORUS

3. The women around here they are mighty fine,
And each-a one tells me she wants to be mine.
Though I hug 'em an' I squeeze 'em an' I drive 'em all mad,
Many's the mornin' I'm off down the road. CHORUS
