Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

I was born in Arkansas me mammy studied law
\nPappy came from Timbuktu
\nThere’s one thing I recall I hated most of all
\nWas that little green shed our Loo<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nIt had a cedar shingle roof I swear that was the truth
\nHinges all rusted and corroding, \u2019Twas a ghastly shade of green
\nThe worst you’ve ever seen, it stood there at the bottom of the garden<\/p>\n

Well one day when I was six I was chopping at some sticks
\nWhen a nasty little gleam came to my eye
\nI ran down to the John and shoved it off the lawn
\nInto the river flowing gently by<\/p>\n

Soon my Pappy yelling my name he asked what was my game
\nWhy did you shove our privy in the drink
\nWhen then I shook with fear and shed a little tear
\nI said it wasn’t me I didn’t think<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Then my Pappy told to me how George Washington felled the tree
\nThen he went and owned up right away
\nAnd he because he told the truth that honest youth forsooth
\nHis Pappy didn’t punish him that day<\/p>\n

Well me being a little green I thought I best come clean
\nSo I told my Pappy how I sank that shack
\nWell with a rebel cry of glee he hauled o’er his knee
\nAnd proceeded to wop me blue and black<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Since I hadn’t told a lie I asked my Pappy why
\nHe sat there and he answered with a frown
\nGeorge Washington’s Pappy he wasn’t sitting in the tree
\nWhen that little bastard went and chopped it down<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
