Way down yonder in the tall grass A little bitty woman named Sassafras A wiggle in her walk and a tickle in her talk And a funny way of putting on the class
They say white lightning is in a jar Clear as the water but it's hot as fire That may be true but I'm telling you A glass can't hold Sassafras
So tell all the neighborhood boys I'm the one that's making all the noise Cause a little cup of tea knocked the heart out of me And that cup of tea was Sassafras
First time I kissed her in the city park Bells started ringing and it got dark The army and the navy couldn't keep the people calm They thought it was a hydrogen bomb
Next day I kissed her in the swimming hole I kissed her in the water and dontcha know The steam from the water rose high as the sky And the old swimming hole went dry
So tell all the neighborhood boys I'm the one that's making all the noise Cause a little cup of tea knocked the heart out of me And that cup of tea was Sassafras
I'm very sorry gotta go now Me and my baby gotta take a vow Gonna get married gonna raise a family Gonna raise 'em on Sassafras tea
So tell all the neighborhood boys I'm the one that's making all the noise Cause a little cup of tea knocked the heart out of me And that cup of tea was Sassafras
A little cup of tea knocked the heart out of me And that cup of tea was Sassafras
