Whose little lady is you, chile,
Whose little gal is you?
What`s de use o` kiver`n up yo` face?
Chile, dat ain`t de way to do.
Lemme see yo` little eyes,
Tek yo` little han`s down nice,
Lawd, you wuff a million bills,
Huh uh, chile, dat ain`t yo` price.
Honey, de money ain`t been made
Dat dey could pay fu` you;
`T ain`t no use a-biddin`; you too high
Fu` de riches` Jap er Jew.
Lemme see you smilin` now,
How dem teef o` yo`n do shine,
An` de t`ing dat meks me laff
Is dat all o` you is mine.
How `s I gwine to tell you how I feel,
How`s I gwine to weigh yo` wuff?
Oh, you sholy is de sweetes` t`ing
Walkin` on dis blessed earf.
Possum is de sweetes` meat,
Cidah is the nices` drink,
But my little lady-bird
Is de bes` of all, I t`ink.
Talk erbout `uligion he`pin` folks
All thoo de way o` life,
Gin de res` `uligion, des` gin me
You, my little lady-wife.
Den de days kin come all ha`d,
Den de nights kin come all black,
Des` you tek me by de han`,
An` I`ll stumble on de track.
Stumble on de way to Gawd, my chile,
Stumble on, an` mebbe fall;
But I`ll keep a-trottin`, while you lead on,
Pickin` an` a-trottin`, dat`s all.
Hol` me mighty tight, dough, chile,
Fu` hit`s rough an` rocky lan`,
Heaben `s at de en`, I know,
So I`s leanin` on yo` han`.
