Lyrics

(HARMONICA & GUITAR)

WE HIRED HIM TO PICK COTTON ALL HE EVER DID WAS MOAN
SUPPER TIME COME HE WAS HUNGRY TO THE BONE
SIX EGGS SHE CALLED HIM SIX-EGGS EDD
MY MOMMA SAID HE'LL EAT US OUT OF OUR HOUSE AND HOME
TAKES ALL WE GOT JUST TO FEED OUR OWN
SIX EGGS SIX-EGGS EDD

WE SAT DOWN AT THE TABLE BOWED OUR HEADS
WHILE DADDY WAS SAYING THE BLESSIN' WE'S ALL WATCHIN' OL' EDD
SIX EGGS SIX-EGGS EDD
BEFORE WE COULD EVEN FINISH A BUTTERIN' OUR BREAD
OL' EDD HAD EATEN EVER EGG WE HAD
SIX EGGS SIX-EGGS EDD

NEXT DAY HE DIDN'T COME TO PICK OR HOE ANY COTTON
DOC SAID HE ALMOST DIED HE ATE A EGG THAT WAS ROTTEN
SIX EGGS SIX-EGGS EDD
WE STILL DON'T KNOW FOR SURE IF IT WAS MOMMA OR THE HEN
BUT MENTION EDD'S NAME AND ALL SHE DOES IS GRIN
SIX EGGS SIX-EGGS EDD

(HARMONICA & GUITAR)

IF YOU COME FOR SUPPER AND YOU ASK FOR MORE
IF MOMMA'S FRYIN' EGGS YOU BETTER STOP AT FOUR
SIX EGGS SIX-EGGS EDD
SHE GOES TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY READS THE BIBLE EVERY NIGHT
BUT YOU EAT TOO MANY EGGS SHE'S GONNA CHANGE YOUR APPETITITE
SIX EGGS SIX-EGGS EDD

HEY, MOMMA! WHAT'S FOR SUPPER? FRIED EGGS? I'LL TAKE FOUR. NO, MAKE THAT FIVE. NO, I DON'T WANT SIX. HUNH-UNH! SAVE THAT ONE FOR EDD, IN CASE HE COMES BACK BY.

SIX EGGS ... SIX-EGGS EDD
SIX EGGS ... SIX-EGGS EDD
SIX EGGS ... OOOOOO...
