Chewing Gum

Mamá me envió al manantial, me dijo que no me quedara,Mama sent me to the spring, she told me not to stay,
Me enamoré de una linda niña, y no pude escapar.I fell in love with a pretty little girl, and could not get away.

COROCHORUS
Masticando chicle, chicle masticando,Chawin' chewing gum, chewing chawin' gum,
Masticando chicle, chicle masticando.Chawin' chewing gum, chewing chawin' gum.

Primero me dio duraznos, luego me dio peras,First she give me peaches, next she give me pears,
luego me dio cincuenta centavos, me besó en las escaleras.next she give me fifty cents, kissed me on the stairs.

Mamá no me permite silbar, papá no me permite cantar,Mommy don't 'low me to whistle, poppy don't 'low me to sing,
no quieren que me case, me casaré de todos modos.they don't want me to marry, I'll marry just the same.

Llevé a mi chica a la iglesia anoche, ¿cómo crees que le fue?I took my girl to church last night, how do you reckon she done?
Caminó directamente hacia la cara del predicador,She walked right up in the preacher's face,
y mascó su chicle.and chewed her chewing gum.
