Ha Ha This a-Way Lead Belly

[Chorus]
Ha ha, this-a way
Ha ha, that-a way
Ha ha, this-a way
Then, oh then

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Ha ha, this-a way
Ha ha, that-a way
Ha ha, this-a way
Then, oh then

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Ha ha, this-a way
Ha ha, that-a way
Ha ha, this-a way
Then, oh then
