(originally by Roosevelt Sykes)





Well, my baby don't have to work

And she don't have to rob and steal

Well, my baby don't have to work

And she don't have to rob and steal

Yes, I'll give her everything she needs

'Cause I am her driving wheel



Yes, she left me this morning

And she said she'd be back soon

Yes, she left me this morning

And she said she'd be back soon

Yes, she would be back early Friday mornin'

Or laid over Saturday afternoon



Yes, every time she walk

She shakes like a leaf tremblin' on a tree

Yes, when my baby walk down the street

She shakes like a leaf tremblin' on a tree

Yes, the women all hate her

But man, she's alright with me



Wo, I sent the U.N. a telegram

Don't want nobody else to break the seal

Wo, I sent the U.N. a telegram

Don't want nobody else to break the seal

I want the whole world to know

That I am my baby's driving wheel
