Most lyrics written by or associated with Robert "Barbecue Bob" Hicks circa 1927.

Well, my momma told me, poppa told me too.

Oh a blue eyed woman gonna be the death of you.

Go starch my jumper, momma, iron my overalls.

My gal done quit me. God knows she had it all.

Did you ever see two women, walking hand in hand.

It's a real sure sign one woman's got that other woman's man.

I'm gonna tell you momma, like gypsy told the Jew.

If you don't want me, it's a cinch I don't want you.

I ain't good looking, teeth don't shine like pearls.

So glad good looks don't take you through this world.
