What Will Mammy Say- Webster (MO) 1880 Randolph

[From: Vance Randolph (Ed G.Legman) "Blow the Candle Out: Unprintable Ozark Folksongs and Folklore" Vol II, University Arkansas Press, 1992, p 647. This is one of the earliest versions but it's missing the chorus.

This bawdy version was collected by Vance Randolph from an elderly gentleman, Mr J.E. Webster Groves, Missouri on April 8, 1948:
 
What will Mammy say to me
What will Mammy say to me
What will Mammy say to me
When I go home with a big bell-ee?

I'll tell her to hold her tongue
I'll tell her to hold her tongue
I'll tell her to hold her tongue
She loved pecker when she was young.
