Mary Euphonus Elizabeth Lee
was known for many miles around.
The folks called her the society belle
way down in old Blackville Town.
When Jasper Johnson arrived down there
he acted like a yellow cur,
When he saw Mary Euphonus Elizabeth
this is what he said to her Oh!

Sweet mamma TreeTop tall
won't you kindly turn your damper down
I can smell your hoecakes burning honey
they done burnt plumb brown
There's a change on the ocean
on the deep blue sea
if you don't treat me right
there'll be a change in me.
So sweet Mamma TreeTop tall
won't you kindly turn your damper down.

Sweet mamma TreeTop tall
won't you kindly turn your damper down
I can smell your hoecakes burning honey
they done burnt plumb brown
There's a change on the ocean
on the deep blue sea
if you don't treat me right
there'll be a change in me.
So sweet Mamma TreeTop tall
won't you kindly turn your damper down.

Mary Euphonus Elizabeth Lee
dressed up in her Sunday gown
She told all the other gals down there
I'm going to see this town.
She called herself the Blackville Vampire
said Jasper he belongs to me
Jasper said Mary
stop your vamping right now
listen honey be patiently Oh!

Sweet mamma TreeTop tall
won't you kindly turn your damper down
I can smell your hoecakes burning honey
they done burnt plumb brown
There's a change on the ocean
on the deep blue sea
if you don't treat me right
there'll be a change in me.
So sweet Mamma TreeTop tall
won't you kindly turn your damper down.

Sweet mamma TreeTop tall
won't you kindly turn your damper down
I can smell your hoecakes burning honey
they done burnt plumb brown
There's a change on the ocean
on the deep blue sea
if you don't treat me right
there'll be a change in me.
So sweet Mamma TreeTop tall
won't you kindly turn your damper down.
