Hillbilly Underwear

Well here's another story That I'd really like to share It's about the first invention Of a thing called underwear Invented by one of my kinfolks A man that the bible calls Adam It caught on pretty quickly too Cause pert near everybody had'em I'll bet you didn't know it But Adam was a hillbilly too You don't have to be a mountain man To be country thru and thru Now the first pair he ever wore Was a leaf called Fruit of the gloom But somebody done up and stole his patent You know, Fruit of the loom Now Adams wife Eve was beautiful In her fig leaf lingerie Her Fredricks of Eden was top of the line But expensive needless to say Well times has changed since Adam's day So we moved up to tater sacks It gave us more of a sophisticated feel That a fig leaf always lacks Now I told this story so everybody knows Don't listen to any other rumors So the next time you shop for underwear You'll remember those hillbilly bloomers
