Little Shirt My Mother Made For Me Lyrics - Marty Robbins

I can't forget the day that I was born 

Was on a cold and frosty winter's morn' 

The doctor said I was a chubby chap 

But when the nurse, she took me on her lap 

She washed me all over I re-member 

And after powder-puffin' me, you see 

She laid me in the cradle by the fender 

In The Little Shirt My Mother Made For Me. 

When I began to crawl it was a sight 

I used to frighten mom from morn' til night 

There's no mistake I was a lttle curse 

'Cause when my daddy, he came home from work 

Every night he would say; "Where's Little Sam got?" 

And down in the cupboard I would be 

Busy scrapin' out the jam pot 

In The Little Shirt My Mother Made For Me. 

The first day that I wore my Knickerbocks 

I felt so funny after wearin' smocks 

I looked a little picture, they did say 

But when they let me out to run and play 

Well, I didn't like the britches I was wearin' 

And in the street I took 'em off, you see 

I started walkin' home so bold and darin' 

In The Little Shirt My Mother Made For Me. 

Last year when I was on my holiday 

Upon the briny ocean I did gaze 

The water looked so nice I thought I'd go 

To have a swim, but, in a minute, oh 

All the girls along the beach at me were starin' 

And some were takin' pictures, I could see 

Was a good thing for me that I was wearin' 

The Little Shirt My Mother Made For Me.
