She caught Potato and left me a mule to ride

Yeah, my baby caught Potatoes, left me a mule to ride

i have four or five little books by gavin edwards (with little drawings) and they're so fun to read:
"he's got the whole world in his pants" (in his hands)
"scuse me while i kiss this guy" (kiss the sky)
"when a man loves a walnut" (woman)

they were from the 1990s and are all, sadly, out of print

a library might be able to order them for you to read tho.
