The Little Shirt My Mother Made for Me - Montana Slim

I will never 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 then the nurse she took me on her lap

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

It seemed so funny after wearin' smocks

I was a little picture they did say

But when they let me out to run and play

Well I didn't like the pants I was wearin'

And in the street I took 'em off you see

I started walkin' home so bold and darin'

In the little shirt my mother made for me

And then to school they said that I must go

I didn't like my teacher you must know

And when I played the truant quite so dear

The teacher said now will please you come here

With a big stick she beat around upon me

There's no mistake about my pedigree

I had the map of Scotland painted on me

Neath that little shirt my mother made for me

Last year when I was on my holiday

Upon the briny water I did gaze

The water looked so fine I thought I'd go

To have a swim but in a minute oh

All the girls along the beach at me were gazin'

And some were takin' pictures I could see

It was very good for me that I was wearin'

Oh that little shirt my mother made for me
