Something about you, mama

That sure gives me the blues

Something about you mama

That sure gives me the blues

It ain't your drop stitch stockings

It ain't your blue buckled shoes



You know, purdy mama

I'm bound to love you some

You know, purdy mama

I'm bound to love you some

'Cause I've done more for you

Than anybody ever done

You know it, baby...



Got me a purdy mama

Got me a bulldog, too,

Got me a purdy mama

Got me a bulldog, too

My purdy mama don't love me

But my bulldog do



There's been a groundhog rootin'

Around my yard at night

There's been a groundhog rootin'

Around my yard at night

From the way my mama been treatin' me

He must be rootin' alright

Lord have mercy...



Well, I ain't no cheatin' man

Don't try to fool no girls

I ain't no cheatin' man

Don't try to fool no girls

It's my regular lovin'

That gets me by in this world
