Well  it's awful cold outside

I'm cold at home tonight

Walkin' up an' down by my poor self
God you know this just ain't right

Gonna boil myself a tea bag

Gonna boil myself a tea bag

And if you moze over my way
I will boil you off a tea bag  too

Well I've come from Oklahoma

Where the dust and gravel blow

I've got gals with booseleg rotgut

But man I never did learn to know

Just how to boil me off a tea bag

How to simmer up a tea bag

And if you'll ease over my way
I will boil you off a tea bag  too

I rode the trains and the busses
I rode the roads I rose the blinds

Hit every kind of bag and satchel
I used every bait I could find

Never did think about no tea bag

Never did see no tea bag

But if you'll ooze over closer
Yes  I'll boil you off a tea bag too

Yes I will

I've used beer  and wine  and coffee
Buttermilk  sodie  and rum

And I've rolled them every color

Seen them go before they come

Learnin' how to use a tea bag

How to dip a tea bag

If you'll sneak over my way
I'm gonna strain your little tea bag  too
Yeah baby  that's a promise

Learnin' how to dip my tea bag

How to soak up my tea bag

And I'm up north in New York City
Singin' my lonesome tea bag blues
