Bo Carter

I got a brand new skillet, I got a brand new lead,
all I need is a little woman, just to burn my bread
I'm tellin' you baby, I sure ain't gonna deny,
let me put my banana in your fruit basket, then I'll be satisfied

Now, I got the washboard, my baby got the tub,
we gonna put 'em together, gonna rub, rub, rub
And I'm tellin' you baby, I sure ain't gonna deny,
let me put my banana in your fruit basket, then I'll be satisfied

Mmmmm, gonna let my banana spoil now,
mama, gonna let my banana spoil, now
I can see the way you carryin' on,
you don't want my banana no how

Now I got the dasher, my baby got the churn,
we gonna churn, churn, churn until the butter come
Then I'm tellin' you baby, I sure ain't gonna deny,
let me put my banana in your fruit basket, then I'll be satisfied

Now my baby's got the cloth, and I got the needle,
we gonna stitch, stitch, stitch, 'til we both will feel it
Then I'm tellin' you baby, I sure ain't gonna deny,
let me put my banana in your fruit basket, then I'll be satisfied

Mmmmm, gonna let my banana ruin, now,
mmmmm, gonna let my banana ruin, now
I can see the way you carryin' on,
you don't want my banana no how

Now my baby's got the meat, and I got the knife,
I'm gonna do her cuttin', this bound to solve my life
And I'm tellin' you baby, I sure ain't gonna deny,
let me put my banana in your fruit basket, then I'll be satisfied

I got a brand new skillet, I got a brand new lead,
all I need is a little woman, just to burn my bread

Now listen here folks, there's one thing sure,
my old pencil won't write no more
Because the lead's all gone, oh the lead's all gone,
oh the lead's all gone, the pencil won't write no more

I lay down at my bed, just to write a line,
I could feel my old pencil droppin' forward all the time
Because the lead's all gone, oh the lead's all gone,
oh the lead's all gone, the pencil won't write no more

I gets outta my bed, down on the floor,
I was worryin' 'bout my old pencil won't write no more
Because the lead's all gone, oh the lead's all gone,
oh the lead's all gone, the pencil won't write no more

I met a hot mama, I wanted to love her so bad,
I lost all the lead in my pencil I had
Now, the lead's all gone, oh the lead's all gone,
oh the lead's all gone, the pencil won't write no more

I hugged and kissed her, all last night,
it wasn't nothin' doin', my old pencil wouldn't write
Because the lead's all gone, oh the lead's all gone,
oh the lead's all gone, the pencil won't write no more

You sure can tell when a man's pencil is wrong,
his mama's always, shiftin' from home
Because the lead's all gone, oh the lead's all gone,
oh the lead's all gone, the pencil won't write no more

Now listen here man, you ought to know,
can't write for that woman you have to let her go
Because the lead's all gone, oh the lead's all gone,
oh the lead's all gone, the pencil won't write no more
