Hasten Jason -

Chorus

Hasten Jason get the basin, fill it up and put your face in, take the soap

that’s on the rope it’s hanging from the door, use the Johnson’s no more tears

and kindly wash behind your ears, oops slop, get the mop yer spillin' on the

floor

Now when I was a boy, my only pride and joy

As a shovel meant for digging up the ground

Twas in my Sunday shirt, I’s digging in the dirt

My momma made me lay that shovel down

She said,

Chorus

Now when I got a little older

I started digging coal down in a mine

When I got home my mom would look me over

She said get back out and wash off some of that grime

She said,

Chorus

Well now I am a man, and I’ve come to understand

The reason momma used to scold me so

I’ve got a boy of my own and whenever I come home

He’s covered up in dirt from head to toe

I say,

Chorus
