Ha, Ha, This A-Way Lyrics

Ha ha this a way, ha ha that a way
Ha ha this a way and then oh then

When I was a little boy, little boy, little boy
When I was a little boy twelve years old
Papa went and left me, left me, left me
Papa went and left me so I was told

Ha ha this a way, ha ha that a way
Ha ha this a way and then oh then

Mama come and got me, she got me, got me
Mama come and got me to save my soul
Mama never whooped me, whooped me, whooped me
Mama never whooped me so I was told

Ha ha this a way, ha ha that a way
Ha ha this a way and then oh then

I went to school, went school, went school
I went to school and I was twelve years old
I obeyed the rules, the rules, the rules
Obeyed the rules as I was told

Ha ha this a way, ha ha that a way
Ha ha this a way and then oh then

I went to a teacher, teacher, teacher
Went to a teacher to save my soul
Teacher was a preacher, preacher, preacher
Teacher was a preacher so I was told

Ha ha this a way, ha ha that a way
Ha ha this a way and then oh then

I liked my lesson, lesson, lesson
Liked my lesson to save my soul
Wasn′t that a blessing, blessing, blessing
Wasn't that a blessing so I was told

Ha ha this a way, ha ha that a way
Ha ha this a way and then oh then
