My baby swears
|
She don't love nobody but me
|
I said, my baby swears
|
She don't love nobody but me
|
So, I'm gonna take her
|
Hoo-well, and make her my fairasee
|
|
One time she mistreated me
|
She treated me worser than a dog
|
One time she mistreated me
|
She treated me worser than the dog
|
But I had a pocket full of dollars
|
Hoo-well, and she saw that I wasn't on the hog
|
|
Now we both is broke
|
And can hardly scout
|
Now we both is broke
|
And can hardly scout
|
Now, we ain't got a dime
|
Hoo-well and then the landlord gon' put us out
|
|
When you go to Memphis
|
You should stop by Church's land
|
When you go to Memphis
|
You should stop by Church's hall
|
And watch the fairasee womens
|
Ooo-well-well, cock it on the wall
|
|
Now, my woman is from Memphis
|
And she sho' treats me <she's real good>
|
I said, my woman is from Memphis
|
And sho' is good to me
|
Oh, I'm going to keep her
|
Hoo-well and make her my fairasee.
