A tribute to Patton Mullins
Must I go or must I stay
Tell me Mommy, would do you say.
Call down to the house and see if I’m there,
Don’t just sit there and stare.
If I was you and you was me,
And I was somebody else,
Then who would you be?
Look real close there’s nothing to fear,
I can move both my ears,
Without a touch from my hand,
I can move them on command.
Scat Tom you tail’s in the gravy,
Biscuits are cooking and I don’t mean maybe.
Bring me a swig one of you young folk,
It’s right over there in that polk.
Who’s yougen are you there are so many,
I stopped counting when I reached twenty.
I have to laugh to keep from crying,
But laughing doesn’t stop me from trying.
Tell me Mommy, would do you say.
Call down to the house and see if I’m there,
Don’t just sit there and stare.
If I was you and you was me,
And I was somebody else,
Then who would you be?
Look real close there’s nothing to fear,
I can move both my ears,
Without a touch from my hand,
I can move them on command.
Scat Tom you tail’s in the gravy,
Biscuits are cooking and I don’t mean maybe.
Bring me a swig one of you young folk,
It’s right over there in that polk.
Who’s yougen are you there are so many,
I stopped counting when I reached twenty.
I have to laugh to keep from crying,
But laughing doesn’t stop me from trying.
