Song Description

Sugarplum" is the first of many (ok, the whole disk is full of them) fireside songs complete with an indispensable harmonica and sing-along chorus of "oh yeah, oh no".

Lyrics

Wish I was an apple swinging from a tree.
My baby walk by take a bite out of me.
Told me that she loved me called me sugarplum,
throwed her arms around me
thought my time had come.
She got religion had it once before
told me that she lost it on the kitchen floor.

My little lady, she's so sweet.
Ruby red lips and a freckle on her cheek.
Telling everybody it's a fine affair
Ain't your business,
but I'm getting my share

I got a little lady, she lives down South
Her lips so sweet, the bees swarm her mouth
I took my baby to the fishin hole
She like to fish, but she got no pole
Took my baby to the laundromat
Brought her in skinny and she come back fat

Told my baby I could make holler
Said she couldn't come if I wouldn't follow.
Baby said she loved me on the telephone,
tried to call her back but she wasn't home.
I went knockin on my baby's door,
thought I'd get lucky but there ain't no more.
