SAL, LET ME CHAW YER ROSIN SOME- Kenny Hall
Kenny Hall's Music Book
Jump up Jenny, jump up Joe,
You'll never get to heaven 'cause you jump too slow.
Here comes Jenny, Here comes John,
Here comes Jenny with 'er apron on.
CHORUS: Chaw, chaw, chaw chum,
Sal let me chaw your rosin some.
Sal's in the garden sifting sand,
Sal’s in love with the hog-eyed man.
Cabbage in the garden, peas in the gum,
Sal, let me chaw yer rosin some.
CHORUS: Chaw, chaw, chaw chum,
Sal, let me chaw your rosin some.
