Way down yonder in the tall grass
A little bitty woman named Sassafras
A wiggle in her walk and a tickle in her talk
And a funny way of putting on the class

They say white lightning is in a jar
Clear as the water but it's hot as fire
That may be true but I'm telling you
A glass can't hold Sassafras

So tell all the neighborhood boys
I'm the one that's making all the noise
Cause a little cup of tea knocked the heart out of me
And that cup of tea was Sassafras

First time I kissed her in the city park
Bells started ringing and it got dark
The army and the navy couldn't keep the people calm
They thought it was a hydrogen bomb

Next day I kissed her in the swimming hole
I kissed her in the water and dontcha know
The steam from the water rose high as the sky
And the old swimming hole went dry

So tell all the neighborhood boys
I'm the one that's making all the noise
Cause a little cup of tea knocked the heart out of me
And that cup of tea was Sassafras

I'm very sorry gotta go now
Me and my baby gotta take a vow
Gonna get married gonna raise a family
Gonna raise 'em on Sassafras tea

So tell all the neighborhood boys
I'm the one that's making all the noise
Cause a little cup of tea knocked the heart out of me
And that cup of tea was Sassafras

A little cup of tea knocked the heart out of me
And that cup of tea was Sassafras
