Caldonia
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Walking with my baby
She got great big feet
She's long, lean and lanky
Ain't had nothing to eat
But she's my baby
I love her just the same
Crazy bout that woman
Cause Caldonia is her name
Caldonia, Caldonia
What make your big head so hard
I love you, I love you just the same
Crazy bout that woman
Cause Caldonia is her name
I don't know what's wrong with her
Someone gotta change right here now
I wanna tell you something
You know, my mama told me
To leave Caldonia alone
(What's the matter with her
What's the matter with her)
I don't know, she says she's no good
She said, son, said, keep away from
That woman, she ain't no good at all
(She must have made a mistake, brother)
Yeah, with mama, there's always
God know what's down
(That's what I thought)
So I'm going down to her
House just one more time
(All right, all right
I'll wait for you)
Caldonia, Caldonia
What make your big head so hard
I love you, I love you just the same
Crazy bout that woman
Cause Caldonia is her name
