Well,
I'm a red -hot picker,
I'm a six -string tickler,
I'm a finger -pickin',
what do you know?
Well, I'm a time -bomb ticker,
a real bomber sticker,
stand back, honey, here I go.
Well, I met a little cutie,
a real sweet patootie,
so I figured, well, I'll come on slow.
I said, my name is Reed,
and I got what you need, honey,
hang around till after the show.
Well, after about an hour
of the wildwood flower I had done
slipped out of my thumb -pick
When up walks a dude
starts coming en route
and says, son, I'm wise to your trick
He said, now listen here, mister,
you're messing with my sister
Made a two -handed fist out of one hand
Well, right then I discovered
he ain't no music lover
And me, I'm a traveling man, whoa
I'm a red -hot picker,
I'm a six -string tickler
I'm a finger -picking,
what do you know?
Hey, I'm a time -bomb ticker,
a real bumper sticker
Stand back, honey, here I go
I'm gettin' ready
Here I go
Well sometimes later I met
another sweet tater
I said honey I'm a hog about you
Just as I was getting bolder
felt a hand on my shoulder
turned around and he was
six foot two.
He said, I don't think you oughta,
cause this here's my daughter
and there's one more thing
son you might know,
that if you ain't quicker than
my big frog sticker
then that's gonna be all she wrote.
I said son, I'm a red hot picker,
I'm a six string tickler,
I'm a finger pickin', what do you know?
I'm a buffalo nickel,
a solid deal picker,
stand back cause here I go.
I'm sorry. Hey.
