Drop down baby
Let yo daddy see
You've got somethin'
Really worrin' me
Lord, my mama, she don't 'llow me
Fool 'round all night long
Well, you may call me crazy
Baby, I can do right from wrong
Met my baby out
Middle a-the road
She was hollin'
'Lawd daddy, sweet jellyroll!'
Lord, my mama, she don't 'llow me
Fool 'round all night long
Well, you may call me crazy
Baby, I know right from wrong
Drop down, daddy <ops>
Let yo' daddy see
You got somethin'
Really worr'in me
Lord, my mama she don't 'llow me
Fool 'round all night long
Well, you may call me crazy
Baby, I know right from wrong
Jack of Diamonds told
Queen of Spades
Why wit' me?
Be on yo' creepin' way
Lord, my mama she don't 'llow it
She don't 'llow it
Fool 'round
Fool 'round
All night long
Lord, my mama
She don't 'llow me
Fool 'round all
All night long
Lord, my mama
'Llow me to fool around, baby
Fool 'round all.
