Burma Shave Lyrics

Burma Shave lyrics

Yonder come-a Willie, he's a-passin' on the hill  

 He don't dress nice, but tries good to kill  

  

 CHORUS:  

 Burma Shave, Burma Shave  

 Burma Shave, Burma Shave  

 I bet I've seen a million roads  

 Of them little red bow-legged signs up & down the line  

 Come on, come on & get it, get it  

  

 Pappy ain't a smart, he ain't but a-quizzin'  

 But with one thing he knows how to keep 'em all his  

  

 (chorus)  

 (instrumental)  

  

 Way down yonder by the forks of the branch  

 The old sow whistles & the little pigs dance  

  

 (chorus)  

 (instrumental)  

  

 Roses are red, violets are blue  

 You chase me & I'll catch you  

  

 (chorus
