===========

Am
Papa came along and he shook the tree
Down came a bushel and a peck for me
F                 Am
Papa shooed away all the honeybees
Papa dug a well and it flowed for me
Papa caught the motherlode fish for me
F                 Am
Papa set a fire and it burned for me
Dm            F
Papa put a skillet in the flame to fry
C               G
Papa filled this little silver spoon of mine
F                 Am
Papa said the Lord took a shine to me
Dm            F
Papa said I gotta set the whole world free
C        G
Whole world free whole world free
/G#  Am              RIFF2 to close
  Ooh papa said how it's gonna be
