Marty Robbins — The Mango Song lyrics

Lyrics

Pick the mango from the tree
Hand the mango down to me Put the mango in a sack
Put the sack upon my back
Everybody, now come along
Help me sing my mango song
Mango
Take the mango to the square
Try to sell the mango there
If I do not sell it then
Take it back and try again
Everybody, now come along
Help me sing my mango song
Mango
Pickin' mango is mighty hard
Children play in Daddy’s yard
A woman work in the kitchen
Cooking meals and patching britches
Everybody, now come along
Help me sing my mango song
Mango
See the woman walking by See her basket sitting high
Basket high on woman head
Did you hear what the woman said?
Everybody, now come along
Help me sing my mango song
Mango
