This is a song of the old time proverbs yay
This is a song of the old time proverbs, hey, hey

[Hook 1]
How water walk go a pumpkin belly? Whoa, whoah
Who asks me dat, nuh me ole time granny
From down inna country
She said saw I want to know

How water walk go a pumpkin belly?
Lord God have mercy, hey
Who aks me dat, nuh me ol' time granny
From down inna country

Grandma, oh, yes, I know. I won't tell you now
She said, 'Saw, seem like you're selling cow
Seem like your selling holy cow'
