Well, I see you got yourself
A brand new harmonica
Mail ordered
From the Steagal's catalogue
Boy, I hope you can learn to play it
Like Lonnie Glossom
And while you added you
To oughta learn a verse or two
Of "Red River Valley"
"Oh My Darling Clementine"
Or "Salty Dog"
Oh, but please
Don't play "Red River Valley"
And how about Polly Wolly doodle all day
And see
You know the only song
I ever learned to play on my two dollar
And nonety-eight cent harmonica
That I got from Wayne Raney
In Clint Texas
C-L-I-N-T
Clint Texas
Was "Red River Valley"
Then she said farewell
To my french harp and me
Well, I see you're doing pretty good
On your new harmonica
But don't you think
You oughta learn about one more tune you know
See you hold it like
You's gonna eat a handful of popcorn
And sometime you suck in
And sometimes you blow
But friend, now
Please don't play "Red River Valley"
And how about Polly Wolly doodle all day
Like I said the only song
I ever learnd on my two dollar
And ninety-eight cent harmonica
That I got from Clint Texas
From Wayne Raney in Clint Texas
Was "Red River Valley"
Oh, then she said farewell
To my french harp and me
