SIPPING CIDER Sung by: Mrs. W.L. Deal Recorded in Heber Springs, AR, 7/17/53 Click here to listen to the original recording Was sipping cider through a straw. The prettiest little girl that ever I saw Was sipping cider through a straw. Says I to her, "What'd you do that for? What made you sip cider through a straw?" Says I to her, "What'd you do that for? What made you sip cider through a straw?" Says she to me, "Why, didn't you know That sipping cider was all the go?" Says she to me, "Why, didn't you know That sipping cider was all the go?" So cheek to cheek and jaw to jaw, We both sipped cider through a straw. So cheek to cheek and jaw to jaw, We both sipped cider through a straw. But best of all, the straw did slip, And I sipped cider from her sweet lips. But best of all, the straw did slip, And I sipped cider from her sweet lips. So now I have a mother-in-law From sipping cider through a straw. So now I have a mother-in-law From sipping cider through a straw. |
