Boom Ouch Mama !! Texans Tall Tales

Oh I remember in my younger days ,
how we played with the firecrackers

and sparkler displays .
When Mama told us be careful

for it sure can cause pain,
and we heard nothing yet we cried

after the boom and the ouch
ran to Mama again .

Oh we lit them and threw them

and laughed with glee,
and once one fell between

my shirt and me .
Oh my goodness I fell to the ground

and rolled about ,
and everyone started laughing

so funny they did shout .

We lit a band of firecrackers,
and placed beneath grandmas bed.
Ran outside and waited

held our hand against our heads.
Mama saw us out there and she went to see,
and about that time Grandma jumped
and began to scream.

Oh we knew we were gonna get it ,
by the look on their face .
And Grandma held our mama back,
and replied their mine today.

She took us kids one by one,
into the outhouse that day.
Mama was all scared
but we came out laughing in such a way.
And when our Mama asked

we told her grandma

whacked the switch on the toilet and said, 
I scared you in somewhat the same way

as she ruffked our head.

Oh how we loved the colors,
and the sparklers so fine.
For a bunch of country kids,
have such fun for a pack of firecrackers that
cost only a dime.
