Carter Family song written by A.P. Carter and first recorded on May 10, 1928. Some of the lyrics were likely derived from a late 1800's song by Ben Maginley called "She Would Chew Gum".
[Verse One]
Mama sent me to the spring, she told me not to stay
I fell in love with a pretty little girl, and could not get away
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum (x2)
Note - Uncle Dave Macon recorded an unrelated song in 1924 called She Was Always Chewing Gum - Published by
