Lyrics
I saw your mama in Kansas City
The way she was looking was a doggone pity
Feet on the ground clothes wasn't clean
Dirtiest old stuff I ever seen
Oh kind mama papa wants to knock a jug
Now I got a gal she is big as a bull
She never stops drinking till her belly gets full
Gets full of liquor and tries to sing
Tight like that and shake that thing
Oh kind mama papa wants to knock a jug
I ask her about it she said before long
Let's get together because your water's on
Let's get started be long gone
Let's get together what you waiting on
Oh kind mama papa wants to knock a jug
I saw you mama way last spring
Eyeballs shining like a diamond ring
Staggering down the street hollering and a‑fussing
I tried to stop her and I got a good cussing
Oh kind mama papa wants to knock a jug
I saw your mama your papa too
What they was doing just won't do
I slipped up on them and took one look
What they was doing wasn't in the book
Oh kind mama papa wants to knock a jug
If you want some loving you want it cheap
Go down on Ellsworth about the middle of the week
Show them girls a quarter they won't let you go
It's four or five times and then some more
Oh kind mama papa wants to knock a jug
