Has anyone ever heard this one?
My mom and my grandmother have sung this one to the kids forever.

my momma said
if I'd be good
she'd send me to the store
she said she'd make some gingerbread
if I would sweep the floor

she said if I would make the bed
and watch the telephone
that she would send me out to get
a chocolate ice cream cone

and so I did
the things she said
and then she made me
some gingerbread

and now I'm out
just me alone
I'm out to get me
a chocolate ice cream cone

now coming home
I stubbed my toe
upon a great big stome
and me, I tell you that I dropped
my chocolate ice cream cone

a little doggie came along
and took a great big lick
and then i hit that mean old dog
with just a little stick
and he bit me
where I sit down
and then he chased me
all over town

and now I'm lost
cant find my home
and all because of
a chocolate ice cream cone


I wish I knew where this song is from. It would be cool to surprise my mom
and grandmother with a copy of it. <G>
