CHEWING GUM (FOND OF CHEWING GUM) Sung by: Mrs. W.B. Apple Recorded in Huff, AR 1/1/62 Click here to listen to the original recording Once I had a pretty little girl, Pretty as she could be. I thought surely she’d be my wife, Dearly she loved me. Dearly she loved me, Dearly she loved me. I thought surely she would be my wife, Dearly she loved me. Took her out to see a ball, Thought I’d have some fun. I introduced her to my friends, Stood and chewed her gum. Stood and chewed her gum, Stood and chewed her gum. I introduced her to my friends; She stood and chewed her gum. Also found in Randolph, Vol. III, #368, “Fond of Chewing Gum.” |
