Gon' buy me a bulldog
Watch me whiles I sleep
('Better get it!')
I said gon' buy me a bull
Bide me whiles I'm 'sleep
That gon' keep my baby from
Makin' her 'fore day sneak
Ha-ha-ha
If you make me jealous
I 'clare you got a evil mind
Ha-ha-ha
If you make me jealous, girl
You know you got-a evil mind
'Cause this girl is evil, Lord
('When is she?)
Most any all the time
('Now, that's it,')
('That's it, you've got it')
(Now, you got it)
Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Let me down easy
I won't to have to
Worry no mo'
(slide guitar)
Rock me, rock me
Rock me like you never did befo'
Ha-ha
Well now, rock me
Made me stumble
Rock me-me-in the evenin'
Rock me lower
Rock slowly
(guitar)
All I want, baby
Is get through
Honey, I'm doggone slow
Now, doesn't anybody ask you
Who's that fool this side?
(guitar)
<laughter>
Ha-ha-ha-ha
('That was it!')
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ooh!
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
