My mamma told me, that she would buy me
A Rubber Dolly if I'd be good
But don't you tell her
I've got a feller
Or she won't buy me no Rubber Dolly

No Rubber Dolly, no Rubber Dolly
She won't buy me no Rubber Dolly

My mamma told me, that she would buy me
A stick of candy if I'd be good
But don't you tell her
I've got a feller
Or she won't buy me no stick of candy

No stick of candy, no stick of candy
She won't buy me no stick of candy

I received a letter - it was addressed in red (2 x)
It said "Come on home daddy
Your mama is dead"

I went to the depot - caught the train a-flyin' (2 x)
When I walked in her door
Saw my little baby's dyin'

I went to her bedside - looked down in her face (2 x)
Said "I love you, love you, baby
But I just can't take your place"

Well you don't mind your water - until your well runs dry (2 x)
You don't miss your mama
Till the day she's gonna die

Hans Theessink: vocals, bottleneck

Baby please don't go (3 x)
Down to New Orleans, I just love you so
Now your man done gone (3 x)
Way from country farm
He got a long chain home

Baby please don't go ...

Put your light down low (3 x)
Baby baby baby baby baby please don't go

Baby please don't go ...

Baby please don't go (3 x)
Down to New Orleans, I just love you so
Now your man done gone (3 x)
Way from country farm
He got a long chain home

Baby please don't go ...

Put your light down low (3 x)
Baby baby baby baby baby please don't go

Baby please don't go ...

Hans Theessink: vocals, guitar

I ain't got no honey babe now (2 x)
And it's oh me - oh Lordy mine
I ain't got no honey babe now

I leave her on the early morning train (2 x)
And it's oh me - oh Lordy mine
I leave her on the early morning train

I'm going where the water tastes like wine (2 x)
And it's oh me - oh Lordy mine
I'm going where the water tastes like wine

TWell the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
And she wobbles as she flies
But the cuckoo never wobbles
Till the sixth day of July

Jack o'Diamonds, Jack o'Diamonds
Well I know you from old
You've robbed my poor pockets
Of that silver and gold

Well I played cards in England
And I played cards in Spain
But if I's here for to gamble
I would win you next game

Well the cuckoo ...

Hans Theessink: vocals, guitar

It's a long long road to travel alone
Honey, without you on my side
But I have to get home for some work that must be done
And I miss you when I leave you out of sight

Next morning at sunrise you'll find me gone
Next morning at sunrise you'll be on your own

I leave you my blankets and some cigarettes
You'll need them when I won't be here no more
'Cause I'm bound far away, maybe for to stay
So tomorrow night I won't be on your floor

Next morning at sunrise ...

I walk the streets of morning with you on my mind
The warmth of your body fades away
Your voice in my ear is getting unclear
But deep inside your memory does stay

Next morning at sunrise ...

Nine pound hammer - it killed John Henry
Won't kill me - Lord, it won't kill me
Nine pound hammer - it killed John Henry
Won't kill me - Lord, it won't kill me

Gone upon the mountain - for to see my baby
She is gone - Lord, she is gone
Gone upon the mountain - for to see my baby
She is gone - My babe, she is gone

This nine pund hammer - is far too heavy
Baby, for my size - Baby, for my size
This nine pund hammer - is far too heavy
Baby, for my size - Baby, for my size
