Lightnin Hopkins - Katie Mae lyrics

(Sam (Lightnin') Hopkins)

Yeah, you know Katie Mae is a good girl, folks, and she don't run around at night

Yeah, you know Katie Mae is a good girl, folks, and she don't run around at night

Yeah, you know you can bet your last dollar Katie Mae will treat you right

Yeah, you know I try to give that woman everything in the world she need,

That's why she don't do nothing but lay up in the bed and read

You know she walks just like she got oil wells in her backyard

Yes, you'll never hear that woman whoop and holler and cry and talking 'bout these times being hard

You know some folks say she must be a Cadillac, but I say she must be a T-model Ford

Yeah, you know some folks say she must be a Cadillac, but I say she must be a T-model Ford

Yeah, you know she got the shape all right, but she can't carry no heavy load

I say goodbye, goodbye poor Katie Mae, these are the last words that I got to say

I say goodbye, goodbye poor Katie Mae, these are the last words I got to say

Yes, if I don't see you tomorrow I hope I'll meet you early the next day
