Capo one 

G
Poppa I know
          C            D
There's a frog on my toe
G                   C
Maybe I'll call him Jethro
G
Maybe I'll grow up to be
     C
As wise, good as he
        G                      D         G
And maybe I'll come back after you're long gone

G
Poppa I'm sure
       C
The worms have eaten you now
        G                                    D              C
And Jethro's been on some Frenchy's plate long ago
G                        C
Now I'm pretty sure that I listen to every word
       G                 D          G
'cause I still hear you telling me still

            G
"slap them boys when they're naughty
           C
Make 'em crawl, make you haughty
            G
Make you strong, little girl
              D                C
You paint them toes the reddish colour
         G
And you know one day
               C
You're gonna be bigger than a flea
               G                 D   C           G
You're gonna be bigger than that old poison ivy tree"

G
Now I'm pretty sure
           C
That I think you'd come and visit
        G                     D                      C
And talk sometimes kind of like gadget
G                            C
A funny little chance like an Indian brave
      G                                D             C
He said "we all grew fat when the white man came"
       G                         C
But one day girl you're gonna learn to make 'em crawl
              G
Make 'em grow tall

But have the grace
       D                C
To be a lady with disgrace
       G
And you fry them 'taters
         C
And you make them with ladies 
G       D                C     G
Hands I know you're my pappy's baby
