Katy Mae Blues

Katy Mae, I love you for my own

Katy Mae

Katy Mae, I love you for my own

Katy Mae

Katy Mae, I love you baby

Don't care what you do

Now, if you make any money, Katy Mae

If you make any money, Katy Mae

If you make any money

Katy Mae, bring it home to me

Katy Mae's a good lookin' woman

But she stays out all night long

Katy Mae's a good lookin' woman

But she stays out all night long

Katy Mae be doin' somethin'

Lord, Lord, when you know is wrong

Ya know I love you, Katy Mae

And that's why we can't get along

'Take your time, you don't need to hurry

Ya got all day to do it'

You know I love you, Katy Mae

And that's why we can't get along

Someday, yeah, you will be sorry

That you ever done po' Tommy wrong

I give you all my lovin', Katy Mae

What mo' can a po' man do?

'Take your time'

Give you all my lovin', Katy Mae

What mo' can a po' man do?

You a sweet little girl

But I swear you won't be true

Now, can I do right

Now baby, you won't do right, yo'self?

'Ta-hm, mo'nin', ya here'

How, can I do right

Now, Katy Mae, won't do right, yo'self?

Before you love me, baby

You wants to love somebody else

Now, Katy Mae, she won't wash none

She won't starch my clothe'

Yes, yes-yes-yes-yes

Katy Mae, she won't wash none

She won't starch an iron my clothe'

'What she do?'

Katey Mae won't do nothin'

Ooh-ooh, but walk the road.
