Go and Wash Your Dirty Feet Lyrics

(J. Horton, F. Horton)


When I was a little boy, bare-footed, I�d like to go
In the spring or summertime, there was no ice or snow
When I was tired and nearly dead, these are the words that Mamma said
Go and wash those dirty feet before you go to bed

When I would get out off school, I could hardly wait
I�d have my brogans in my hand before I�d hit the gate
I�d wrought them plain till nearly dead, that same old line, Mamma always said
Go and wash those dirty feet before you go to bed

-Solo-

When winter�s passed and the violets bloom and the springtime rose around
My tiny feet got to itchin� so to touch the cool cool ground
But I remember what Mamma said, those words still echo through my head
Go and wash those dirty feet before you go to bed

-Solo-

I draw the water from the well and grab the Old Ma�s teeth
Just a-fussin� and a-fumin� like any ordinary man
But if I�m brushin� off instead, Mamma would make my bottom red
Go and wash them dirty feet before you go to bed
