Whoa, the girl I love, she's got long black wavy hair

I do declare!

The girl I love, yeah, she's got long black wavy hair,

Ah yeah,

Her Mother and her Father, Lordy,

Sure don't, sure don't want me there.



Well I, I go back to my baby, Lord

I, I swear I wouldn't lie

I never saw that sweet woman yeah

For five long years gone by, yeah.

Well I, said I, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, I

I'm goin' home

'Cos she's a sweet little darlin', whoa

I said I been away, ah for too long.

I been away too long.



Well, when my baby walks, she shakes

Just like a willow tree, yes she does.

Well my baby, when she walks, you know

Oh that sweeter baby

You know she walks, walks all over me.

Ooh yeah. Whoa. Love my baby.
