MOLLY BAKER. AKA and see "Big Tater." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Oklahoma. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB.

Knife and a fork and a great big tater,
Take that pretty girl to be my waiter.

O law, I guess I'll take her,
Take that pretty little Molly Baker.

I had a wife and she was a Quaker,
If she went to sleep the devil couldn't wake her.
