Sassafras lyrics

Way down yonder in the tall grass
A little bitty woman named Sassafras
A wiggle in her walk
And a tickle in her talk
And a funny way of puttin' on the class

They say white lightning's in a jar
Clear as the water but it's hot as fire
That may be true but I'm tellin' you
A glass can't hold Sassafras

So tell all the neighborhood boys
I'm the one that's makin' all the noise
'Cause a little cup of tea
Knocked the heart out of me
And that cup of tea was Sassafras

First time I kissed her in the city park
Bells started ringin' and it got dark
The army and the navy couldn't keep the people calm
They thought it was a hydrogen bomb

Next day I kissed her in the swimmin' hole
I kissed her in the water and dontcha know
The steam from the water rose high as the sky
And the old swimmin' hole went dry
