Little Shirt My Mother Made For Me
Recorded by Marty Robbins
Written by Harry Wincott

C                                 G7
I can't forget the day that I was born
                                  C
Was on a cold and frosty winter's morn
                               G7
The doctor said I was a chubby chap
    D7                                G7
But when the nurse she took me on her lap

    F                      C
She washed me all over I remember
    F                           C
And after powder-puffin' me you see
                                 F
She laid me in the cradle by the window
       G7                              C
In the little shirt my mother made for me

                               G7
When I began to crawl it was a site
                                      C
I used to frighten mom from morn till night
                                  G7
There’s no mistake I was a little turk
    D7                              G7
For when my daddy he came home from work

      F                                 C
Every night he would say where's little Sam got
   F                               C
As down the kitchen happy as could be
                                      F
They used to find me scrapin' out the jam pot
       G7                              C
In the little shirt my mother made for me
 
                                    G7
The first day that I wore my knickerbocks
                              C
I felt so funny after wearin' smocks
                                   G7
I looked a little picture they did say
    D7                              G7
But when they let me out to run and play

     F                                C
Well I didn't like the britches I was wearin'
    F                                C
And in the street I took 'em off you see
                                   F
I started walkin' home so bold and darin'
       G7                              C
In the little shirt my mother made for me


                               G7
Last year when I was on my holiday
                           C
Upon the briny ocean I did gaze
                                       G7
The water looked so nice I thought I'd go
   D7                          G7
To have a swim but in a minute oh

        F                                C
All the girls along the beach at me were starin'
    F                                 C
And some were takin' pictures I could see
                                   F
Was a good thing for me that I was wearin'
    G7                              C
The little shirt my mother made for me
