Daddys Little Pumpkin
John Prine
[Intro] [Verse 1] You must be daddy’s little pumpkin I can tell by the way you roll You must be daddy’s little pumpkin I can tell by the way you roll Well it’s quarter past eleven And you’re sleeping on the bedroom floor [Verse 2] I can see the fire burning Burning right behind your eyes I can see the fire burning baby Burning right behind your eyes You must of swallowed a candle Or some other kind of surprise [Verse 3] I’m going down to Memphis Got three hundred dollars in cash Yeah I’m going down to Memphis Got three hundred dollars in cash All the women in Memphis Gonna see how long my money could last [Instrumental] [Verse 4] Well I’m going downtown I’m gonna rattle somebody’s cage Yeah I’m going downtown I’m gonna rattle somebody’s cage I’m gonna beat on my guitar And strut all around the stage [Verse 5] If you see my baby coming Don’tcha tell her that her daddy’s in jail If you see my baby coming Don’t tell her that her Daddy’s in jail She’d sell her little pumpkin just to raise Her sweet daddy’s bail [Verse 6] You must be daddy’s little pumpkin I can tell by the way you roll You must be daddy’s little pumpkin I can tell by the way you roll Well you never do nothing To save your doggone soul [Ending]
