Well, the man I love is long and tall
Sometimes I think he's got it all And please don't stop him He's all right with me He's just a long tall daddy Got something that I really need Now look here, boy I want to talk to you I've got little work I want you to help me to do Oh, don't stop him Let him come home with me He's just a long tall daddy Got something that I really need Now look here, girls Don't keep him so long You'll know what he's been missing Since he's been gone Please don't stop him He's all right with me He's just a long tall daddy Got something that I really need Yes, play it now Ain't anyone home This time of night in the rain When you go with me And ricocheted that thing And please don't stop him He's all right with me He's just a long tall daddy Got something that I really need Now don't you feel good That you have done got it You don't have to be worried With no other miss Ah, don't stop him Let him come home with me He's just a long tall daddy Got something that I really need |

I was talking to the people that lives in town
Why'ever had the shack and your clothes burn down? So call the fire wagon, call the fire wagon Call the fire wagon, ain't no fire wagon in town Saved my baby and my wardrobe trunk I lost everything else I had in front So call the fire wagon, call the fire wagon Call the fire wagon, ain't no fire wagon in town Standing on the streets in my sleeping gown Watching that shack and my clothes burn down So call the fire wagon, call the fire wagon Call the fire wagon, ain't no fire wagon in town Fast asleep laying in my bed Lord, this smoke is 'bout to kill me dead So call the fire wagon, call the fire wagon Call the fire wagon, ain't no fire wagon in town This big city's all right but I'm so far from town A shack catches fire, you know it's got to burn down So call the fire wagon, call the fire wagon Call the fire wagon, ain't no fire wagon in town Well, the jinx overtaken us, now and carrying us down Me and my baby got to leave this town So call the fire wagon, call the fire wagon Call the fire wagon, ain't no fire wagon in town |

Sometime I'm thinking
Thinking about the times have been Sometime I'm thinking Thinking about the times have been If you want to fall in bad Just get your outside friends Players can be so swell Love can be so frail But your outside friends Will have you begging for it Sometime I'm thinking Thinking about the times, have been If you want to fall in bad Just get your outside friends I have sat and watched Evening sun go down People saying it's sad Not even a friend around Sometime I'm thinking Thinking about the times have been If you want to fall in bad Just get your outside friends Play it for me I've called and called Hey, you know half the town My heart pains Salty tears come rolling down Sometime I'm thinking Thinking about the times have been If you want to fall in bad Just get your outside friends |

These are the lyrics as I transcribed them from the record.
Whether they're perfect or not, I don't know. I may have transposed some of them here and there. You're welcome to check it and correct it yourself. Take it or leave it: Well, the ugliest li'l thing you ever see before... He didn't be a tramp, he's a hobo. He's a ugly li'l somethin on the scout. He's a terrible li'l creature hush yo' mouth. He's a awful li'l thing, he's a killer diller from the south. Well, he walked into the store where I was at, And in his face looked like a cryin cat. Cause he's a ugly li'l sucker on the scout, He's a terrible li'l creature hush yo' mouth, He's a awful li'l thing, he's a killer diller from the south. Well, he walked down the street lookin in a showcase, His stacker walked out, said you can take my place. Cause he's a ugly li'l shaver on the scout, He's a terrible li'l somethin hush yo' mouth, He's a awful li'l creature, he's a killer diller from the south. Well, he walked in the hotel, ever'body left, He looked in the glass and he smiled at his self, I'm a ugly li'l shaver on the scout, I'm a terrible li'l somethin hush yo' mouth, I'm a awful li'l creature, I'm a killer diller from the south. |
