My mama don't 'llow me

Stay out all night long

My mama don't 'llow me

Stay out all night long

I ain't nothin' but a playboy

Hoo, Lord, some woman done me wrong

Now, I had my catfish, swimmin' in the sea

I had all thee women, now fishin' after me

'Cause mama don't 'llow me

Stay out all night long

I ain't nothin' but a playboy

Hoo, Lord some woman done me wrong

Now, my baby got away like a cat squirrel

High in the lonesome pine

When the wind blow

That woman wants to change her mind

'Cause mama don't 'llow me

Stay out all night long

I ain't nothin' but a playboy

Hoo, Lord, some woman done me wrong

(Guitar)

I said, 'Now stoop down mama

Let you yo' daddy see

Whens that baby kid's gon'

Worry me

'Cause mama don't 'llow me

Stay out all night long

Now, I ain't nothin' but a playboy

Hoo, Lord, some woman done me wrong.

Baby, now I'm leavin' town

Ain't gonna say, 'goodbye'

No use in writin'

Ask me the reason why

'Cause mama don't allow me

Stay out all night long

I ain't nothin' but a playboy

Hoo, Lord, some woman done me wrong.
