Sassafras

Way down yonder in the tall grass

A little bitty woman named Sassafras

A wiggle in her walk and a tickle in her talk

And a funny way of puttin' on the class

They say white lightning's in a jar

Clear as water but it's hot as fire

That may be true but I'm tellin' you

A glass can't hold Sassafras

So, tell all the neighborhood boys

I'm the one that's makin' all the noise

And a little cup of tea

Knocked the heart out of me

And that cup of tea was Sassafras

First time I kissed her in the city park

Bells started ringin', and it got dark

The army and the navy couldn't keep the people calm

They thought it was a hydrogen bomb

Next day I kissed her in the swimmin' hole

I kissed her in the water and dontcha know

Steam from the water rose high in the sky

And the old swimmin' hole went dry

So, tell all the neighborhood boys

I'm the one that's makin' all the noise

'Cause a little cup of tea

Knocked the heart out of me

And that cup of tea was Sassafras

I'm very sorry gotta go now

Me and my baby gonna take a vow

Gonna get married, gonna raise a family

Gonna raise 'em on Sassafras tea

So, tell all the neighborhood boys

I'm the one that's makin' all the noise

'Cause a little cup of tea

Knocked the heart out of me

And that cup of tea was Sassafras

A little cup of tea

Knocked the heart out of me

And that cup of tea was Sassafras
