Little Jimmy Dickens Miscellaneous Take An Old Tater And Wait (1949) When I was a little boy around the table at home I remember very well when company would come I would have to be right still until the whole crowd ate My mamma always said to me “Jim take a tater and wait” Now taters never did taste good with chicken on the plate But I had to eat them just the same That is why I look so bad and have these puny ways Because I always had to take a old po-tater and wait And then the preacher day would come to stay a while with us I would have to slip around and raise a little fuss If fear that I would spill the beans or break a china plate My mamma always said to me “Jim take a tater and wait” Now taters never did taste good with chicken on the plate But I had to eat them just the same That is why I look so bad and have these puny ways Because I always had to take a old po-tater and wait Well I thought that I would starve to death before my time would come All that chicken that they would eat and just leave me the bun The feet and neck was all that’s left upon the china plate It makes you pretty darn weak to take an old cold po-tater and wait Now taters never did taste good with chicken on the plate But I had to eat them just the same That is why I look so bad and have these puny ways Because I always had to take a old cold tater and wait |
