Might as well tie all the loose ends together. Here's the whole song. I listened to it on Spotify:


SASSAFRAS
As recorded by the Modern Folk Quartet on "The Modern Folk Quartet" (1963)

1. 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.

2. They say white lightin's in a jar,
Clear as the water, but it's hot as fire.
That may be true, but I'm tellin' you,
Glass won't hold Sassafras.

CHORUS: So tell all the neighborhood boys
I'm the one makin all the noise,
'Cause a little bit o' tea knocked the heart out o' me
And that cup o' tea was Sassafras.

3. The first time I kissed her in the city park,
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.

4. Next day I took her to the swimmin' hole,
Kissed her in the water and, dontcha know,
Steam from the water rose high as the sky
And the old swimmin' hole went dry. CHORUS

5. I'm very sorry; gotta go now.
Me and my baby gonna take a vow.
Gonna get married; gonna raise a family.
Gonna raise 'em on sassafras tea. CHORUS
