I wished I was an Elf
Hanging from a tree
Now all the sweet little men
Preaching out to me

Now I'm swingin' on home
Mama's swingin' on home
Big Mama swung on home
Big Mama - is gonna marry you someday

Listen everybody
What I got to say
Hope that when you hear this record
I'll be in your home someday

Now I'm swingin' on home
Mama's swingin' on home
Big Mama swinging on home
Big Mama - is gonna marry you someday

Last year you bought a horse
This year you knew it
Told me that it was going home
To get married to Jude

Now I'm swingin' on home
Mama's swingin' on home
Big Mama swinging on home
Big Mama - is gonna marry you someday
We don't pick no cotton
Not even tomatoes
All that we plant in my hometown
Is candy and potatoes
