Classy Mae, my sweet woman

She sho' don't do nothin' wrong

Classy Mae is my sweet woman

I don't 'llow her to do nothin' wrong

An when she happen do somethin' wrong

Oh Lord, she makes it right home

Now, Classy Mae you know you misused me

You misused me without a cause

Classy Mae, you know you misused me

Whoa Lord, you misused me without a cause

But some a-these old days

I'm 'onna get round the corner

And get yo' ashes hauled

Now, you know you didn't want me

Now-now you, why didn't you tell me so?

Classy Mae, you know you didn't want me

Why in the world don't you tell me so?

'Cause you know I can get me a pretty woman

Most anywhere Po Tommy go

Now, if dats yo' name

Buy you a good lock an key

Yes, Good God a Mighty, now

If thats yo' name, Classy Mae

Buy you a good lock an key

'Cause that's the only-est way

You can stay away from me

Now, right last night

I couldn't sleep for cryin'

I say, all night last night

Classy Mae, I couldn't sleep for cryin'

I was thinkin' 'bout somebody

Who had the loneliest life.
