Blues for Mrs. Pauline / Leave My Boy Alown

Next time you go and see my baby

It'll be the last time you'll ever see

Check this out

The next time you go and hang around my baby

I'm telling you woman,

It'll be the last place you'll be

If somebody's gonna teach my boy a lesson

Watch out! That somebody better damn well be me

You caught my little boy

Ov' by Mr Elliot store that day

You caught him steal a little cake

And whatever he did, you wouldn't let him get away

You wanted to teach him a lesson

Made him work your chores

Each and every summer day

You better leave, you better leave my little boy alone

You better leave, you better leave my little boy alone

Not before I get evil mad and I go and do something wrong

Hold on, hold on

Tony baby, come to mommy, tell me what happened?

Have you lost your damn mind woman

Working him like that when a cake costs just a dime

Have you lost your Goddamn mind woman

He told you he was wrong and that he stepped out of line

Somebody should be teaching you a lesson

Oh, and the privilege is about to be all mine

You better leave, you better leave my little boy alone

You better leave, you better leave my little boy alone

Not before I get evil mad, oh, and I go and do something wrong
