Sonny Boy Williamson - Low Down Ways lyrics

rate me

Now listen here, baby

Do you think I'm gonna be yo' fool?

Do what you think, baby

You want Sonny Boy, to be yo' mule?

A-ev'rytime I meet you, baby

Walkin' up an down the street

You walk by me, smilin'

Act like you don't wanna speak

But I, Iittle girl

I've got tired of your low down, dirty ways

Well, now drinkin' whiskey an runnin' round

Little girl, that's all you crave

Well now, an I give you my money, baby

N' you left me cold in hand

You took my money, an you know you

Started to raisin' sand

You start to hittin' in bootleggers

Drivin' 'em ev'ry whiskey hide she knows it

Ridin' up an down the street

An you know with Mr. So and So

But little girl

I'm tired of yo' low down, dirty ways

Well now, drinkin' whiskey an runnin' around

I just declare that's all you crave

Well now, I was gonna by you a Packard, baby

I was gonna by you a Packard 2

I was gonna by you a Cadillac, you know

Just to try an get along wit'ch you

I was goin' down to the jewelry sto'

An I was gonna buy you diamonds ring

But now you won't treat me nice

An I ain't gonna buy you a doggone thing

But little girl

I'm tired of yo' low down, dirty way

Well now, drinkin' whiskey an runnin' around

I just declare that's all you crave

(harmonica & instrumental)

Well now-a my mother told me one thing

You know my father sayed the same

You runnin' around with this little girl

Sonny, that's gonna change yo' name

But I won't pay 'em no mind

A-I'll continue to drink

I don't never said I want change

You know an just sit and think

But I've got tired

Of this little girl's low down, dirty ways

Now an when I leave her this time

I swear I'm gonna away 'n stay.
