The Lancers "Sweet Mama Tree Top Tall" 78 rpm Record

The Lancers "Sweet Mama Tree Top Tall" 78 rpm Record
Flipside is "Were You Ever Mine to Lose"
Trend Records out of LA Ca
Picked this up at our local thrift shop.

"Sweet Mama Tree Top Tall" is a catchy tune with lyrics I don't clearly understand.
What do they mean?
"Oh, sweet mama, treetop tall, won't you kindly turn your damper down?"
Just wondering......

Thanks in Advance!
