Well but I got somethin' to tell ya black gal
Black gal, that ya oughta know
I can get me a woman, black gal
Most ev'rywhere I go
But Lord knows I'm-a wild 'bout you black gal
I'm just as crazy as I can be
Lord knows I'm wild about you black gal
You ought to be a fool about me
Well now, look-a-here black gal
Black gal, you oughta be ashamed
The way that my baby brother know you, black gal
He's scared to call your name
And my brother says he's wild about you black gal
He's just as crazy as he can be
My brother says he's wild about you black gal
You oughta be a fool about him
Well now, here is my picture black gal
I want you to keep it in your frame
Now this other boy, for days is all you been lookin' at
Sonny wants just the same
And Lord knows I been worried about you black gal
I be as crazy as I can be
Now I be thinkin' 'bout you black gal
I hope you be kinda worried about me
Now fare you well, black gal
I ain't got no mo' to sing
There's mister so an so taken my kingdom
I want you to have your way
Lord knows, I'm wild about you black gal
I'm just a crazy as I can be
You know I'm wild about you black gal
You ought to be a fool about me
