"Smooth Folk Singer" Lyrics

My mother on her deathbed took me aside
(Smooth folk singer)
My mother on her deathbed told me 'Child
(Smooth folk singer)
Be careful with your folk, be careful, child!
(Smooth folk singer)
Folk music will blow the world's mind
(One time, two times)

Take care, folk singer, you may find
(Smooth folk singer)
The way you folk gonna blow the world's mind
(Smooth folk singer)
Be careful with your finger and a guitar chord
(Smooth folk singer)
It all depends on the order of your words
(One time, two times)

Smooth folk singer
Take care, child
The way you folk
Gonna drive the world wild
(Smooth folk singer, one time, two times)

More heavy than Leadbelly, more hooky than Hooker
(Smooth folk singer)
Not sleepy like Estes, a rambler and a looker
(Smooth folk singer)
Not a rocker like Richard, baby I'm a folker
(Smooth folk singer)
And around my neck I wear a velvet choker
(One time, two times)

Smooth folk singer
Take care, child
The way you folk
Gonna drive the world wild
(Smooth folk singer, here we go, one time, two times)

My mother on her deathbed took me aside
(Smooth folk singer)
My mother on her deathbed told me 'Child
(Smooth folk singer)
Be careful with your folk, it drives the women wild
(Smooth folk singer)
Take care, folk singer, take care child!
(One time, two times)

Smooth folk singer
Take care, child
The way you folk
Gonna drive the world wild
(Smooth folk singer, one time, two times)

I'm a solid sender, my heart is full
(Smooth folk singer)
Of political agendas and primitive cool
(Smooth folk singer, one time, two times)
