""Oh, mother, I'm gonna get married."" ""Oh are you now?"" her mother replies. ""Who you gonna marry?"" ""I'm gonna marry Irish Red."" ""Oh a fine tater, a very fine tater indeed"" says her mother. Then the middle daughter speaks up: ""I've got big news too, mother!"" ""What is it?"" her mother says. ""Oh, mother, I'm gonna get married too you know."" ""Oh are you now?"" her mother replies. ""And who are you gonna marry?"" ""I'm gonna marry Idaho Gold."" ""Oh Idaho Gold, a fine tater, a very fine tater indeed"" says her mother. Then the youngest daughter, who is no more than a child, speaks up. ""Oh, mother, I've got big news too you know."" ""Oh do you now?"" her mother says. ""Oh, yes mother, I'm gonna get married too."" ""Oh are you now?"" her mother replies. ""And who are you gonna marry?"" ""I'm gonna marry Dan Rather."" ""Why, Dan Rather! But sweetie, he's just a common tater.""
