Lyrics Lightnin' Hopkins

Lightnin' Hopkins

Rosie Mae

Mmmm, you know Rosie Mae is a good girl,

Folks say she don't run around at night

You know Rosie Mae is a good girl,

Folks say she don't run around at night

Well, you know you can bet your last dollar,

Poor Rosie Mae will treat ya right

Yeah, you know I try to give my woman,

Everything in the world she needs

That's why she don't do nothin man,

But lay up in the bed and read

You know she walks just like,

She got oil wells in her backyard

Why you never hear that woman hootin' and hollerin' and

cryin',

No man, a-talkin about these times bein' hard

Yes, Rosie Mae

Yeah, she's a good girl

Yeah, you know I bought her a radio,

Even bought her electric fan

She said, "I'm gonna lay here and read,

And God, I ain't gonna have no other man"

It made me feel so good,

'til I don't know what to do

Yes I said, "Every dollar po' Lightnin make, baby,

He gotta bring it back home to you"
