Burma Shave

Way down yonder by the forks of the branch

The old sow whistled and the little pigs danced

Burma shave burma burma burma shave

I bet I've seen a million rows

Of them little red poles and it's signs up and down the line

Come on come on one more time

Yonder goes willie he's passin' on a hill

He don't dress nice but he drives fit to kill

Burma shave burma burma burma shave

I bet I've seen a million rows

Of them little red poetic signs up and down the line

Giddyup giddyup tally ho

Well my pappy ain't smart he ain't good at quizzin'

But one thing he knows is how to keep maw his'n

Burma shave burma burma burma shave

I bet I've seen a million rows

Of them little red poetic signs up and down the line

Come on come on one more time

Roses are red and violets are blue you chase me and so will I

Burma shave burma burma burma shave

I bet I've seen a million rows

Of them little red poetic signs up and down the line

Come on come on one more time
