Jack of diamonds told the I it tie queen of spades
Come on now sweetie, let's get on and misbehave
My momma don't allow me to stay out all night long
You are a young child and some woman will treat you wrong

One of these days I may jump like a squirrel
I'll grab a limb and swing all around the world
My momma don't allow me to stay out all night long
You are the young son and some woman will treat you wrong

Sweetest peaches don't grow on the tree
The sweetest honey don't come from the bee
My momma don't allow me to stay out all night long
You are the young son and some woman will treat you wrong

Drop down momma momma, let your daddy see
You got something that's been worrying me
My momma don't allow to let me stay out all night long
You are the young son and some woman will treat you wrong
