Porter Wagoner - Little Shirt My Mother Made For Me lyrics

[ Speck Rhodes ] 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 and when the nurse she took me on her lap Oh she bathed me all over I remember and after powder-puffin' me you see She put me in the cradle by the window 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 Oh I didn't like the pants that I was wearin' so on the street I took 'em off you see And I started walkin' home so brave and darin' In the little shirt my mother made for me While I was on my holiday upon the briny ocean I did gaze The water looked so fine I thought I'd go and have a swim but in a minute oh All the girls on beach at me were starin' and some were takin' pictures I could see Was a lucky thing for me that I was wearin' the little shirt my mother made for me
