My momma's got an overcoat that's nice and long and warm and woolen
She goes to the baker, but she don't get her none down there
Because she bakes a meaner biscuit that nobody can prepare

He goes to the cooper, but he don't get him none down there
Because he cuts and steams and bends 'em like nobody can compare
James is out in the pasture and he's gettin' into somethin'
James is out in the pasture and God knows he's gettin' into somethin'
He goes to the farrier, but he don't get him none down there
Because he packs a better barefoot that no mule would ever dare
Old rabbit's got ears that hang all down his back straight to his haunches
Old rabbit's got ears that hang all down his back, can't be for hearin', to his haunches
He goes to the thicket, but he don't get him none down there
Because he hops a better two step than no Texas man could bare
