Capo one 

G
Poppa I know
	    C	      D
There's a frog on my toe
G		       C
Maybe I'll call him Jethro
G
Maybe I'll grow up to be
     C
As wise, good as he
        G		          D	   G
And maybe I'll come back after you're long gone

G
Poppa I'm sure
       C
The worms have eaten you now
        G				            D              C
And Jethro's been on some Frenchy's plate long ago
G			      C
Now I'm pretty sure that I listen to every word
	 G	           D	    G
'cause I still hear you telling me still

	      G
"slap them boys when they're naughty
	     C
Make 'em crawl, make you haughty
	      G
Make you strong, little girl
		  D		    C
You paint them toes the reddish colour
	   G
And you know one day
		   C
You're gonna be bigger than a flea
		   G		     D   C	     G
You're gonna be bigger than that old poison ivy tree"

G
Now I'm pretty sure
           C
That I think you'd come and visit
        G		         D                      C
And talk sometimes kind of like gadget
G			          C
A funny little chance like an Indian brave
      G			              D		 C
He said "we all grew fat when the white man came"
       G				 C
But one day girl you're gonna learn to make 'em crawl
		  G
Make 'em grow tall

But have the grace
	 D	          C
To be a lady with disgrace
       G
And you fry them 'taters
	   C
And you make them with ladies 
G	 D		    C     G
Hands I know you're my pappy's baby
