Drop Down Mama
Drop down, mama, let your daddy see
You got something really worrying me
No my mama she don't allow me fool around all night
Fool around all night, all night long
I may look like I'm crazy but least I know right from wrong
Well the Jack of Diamonds told the Queen of Spades
"Run with me, lay on your creeping ways"
No my mama she don't allow me fool around all night
Fool around all night, all night long
You may call me crazy but least I know right from wrong
Met my baby in middle the road
She cried Daddy, sweet jelly roll
No my mama she don't allow me fool around all night
Fool around all night, all night long
I may look like I'm crazy but least I know right from wrong
Some of these women sure do make me tired
Gotta a hair full of "gimme," mouth full of "much abliged"
No my mama she don't allow me fool around all night
Fool around all night, all night long
I may look like I'm crazy but least I know right from wrong
Drop down mama, let your daddy ride
You got something holdin' deep inside
Well you see me comin', put your man outdoors
I ain't no stranger, I been out before
No my mama she don't allow me fool around all night
Fool around all night, all night long
I may look like I'm crazy but least I know right from wrong
You may call me crazy but least I know right from wrong
You may call me crazy but least I know right from wrong
