Lonnie Johnson - Raise The Window High (1967) lyrics

rate me

Hang up your lantern baby, raise your winda’ high.

Hang up your lantern baby, and raise your winda’ high.

‘Cause you so mean and evil baby, so many days you’ll have to cry.

I give you everything in my heart, I couldn’t get through to you.

I give you everything in my heart, but I couldn’t get through to you.

You just so mean and evil baby, Can’t get along with you no way I do.

But it’s all right baby, do anything you want to do.

It’s all right baby, do anything you want to do.

‘Cause I don’t hurt anymore baby, and I mean I’m through with you.

So, you can hang up your lantern baby, look at me for the last time you’ll see.

Yes, hang up your lantern baby, last time you’ll see me aroun’.

You can pull you down your window shade, ‘cause I’m leavin’ this no good town.
