Tell
you a story and I won¡¦t lie
Mamma
used to make us Salamander Pie
Crunchy
Munchy good for you
Thinking
¡¥bout it turn some folk blue.
Well
you go down the creek take off your socks
Look
for the Salamander underneath the rocks
Find
one take a stick and then you whomp it
If
you can¡¦t find a stick just take your foot and Stomp it.
Salamander
Pie
Turn
up the rocks and you watch ¡¥em run,
Little
critter skitter in the noonday sun
Find
one take a stick and then you sock it
Put
what left into your pocket.
Catch
as many Salamanders as you able
Go
home put the Salamander on the table
Salamander
good to fry or bake
You
can make yourself a Salamander Pie or cake
Salamander
cake
Mamma
say that you just can¡¦t beat it
Mamma
say it but she never eat it
Tell
you a story and I won¡¦t lie
There
ain¡¦t noting finer than Salamander Pie
