Oh, now lawdy, lawdy, lawdy, Miss Clawdy,
Girl, you sure look good to me.
Well, please don't excite me, baby,
Though it can't be me.
Because I give you all o' my money,
Girl, but you just won't treat me right.
You like to ball[5] in the mornin',
Don't come back till at night.
I'm gonna tell, tell my mama,
Lawd, I swear to God, what you been doin' to me.
I'm gonna tell everybody that,
I'm down in misery.
[Instrumental break.]
Well, now lawdy, lawdy, lawdy, Miss Clawdy,
Lawd, I swear to God you look good to me.
You just wheelin' an' rockin', baby,
Just as fine as you can be.
Well, so bye, bye, bye, baby,
Girl, I won't be trouble no more.
Goodbye, Clawdy, oh darlin',
Down the road I'll go.
Girl, you sure look good to me.
Well, please don't excite me, baby,
Though it can't be me.
Because I give you all o' my money,
Girl, but you just won't treat me right.
You like to ball[5] in the mornin',
Don't come back till at night.
I'm gonna tell, tell my mama,
Lawd, I swear to God, what you been doin' to me.
I'm gonna tell everybody that,
I'm down in misery.
