It's a funny way to tell you baby,
|
What could I do?
|
I've been talkin to the preacher,
|
And he sent me to you.
|
There's a penny on the sidewalk,
|
But you stepped on a crack
|
Mama's singing in the kitchen,
|
But she's clutchin' her back
|
There's a funny wind a-blowin'
|
Down the rays you your hair
|
Everybody doin' cartwheels baby,
|
But you're still in bed
|
You can tell me it's your nature, girl
|
But I don't buy that
|
I can tell you like to lie
|
Just by the tilt of your hat
|
|
One guy's laughing,
|
One guy's weeping,
|
One guy's twitchin'
|
And you lay sleeping
|
|
Tell me why you sleeping baby
|
One guy's laughing, mama,
|
One guy's weeping,
|
One guy's twitchin' down on the floor, mama
|
Tell me why you sleeping baby
|
|
I've been talking in the kitchen,
|
And I'm skinning a cat
|
I know you you wanna see my jackknife,
|
But I'm using a bat
|
Put the mutton on the table,
|
There's a fork by your plate
|
Someone told me you're starving,
|
But I know you just ate.
|
|
One guy's laughing,
|
One guy's weeping,
|
One guy's twitchin'
|
And you lay sleepin'
|
