Well, that I got somethin' to tell ya, black gal

Black gal, that ya' ought know

I can get me a woman, black gal

Most ev'rywhere I go



But Lord, knows I'm-a wild about you, black gal

Lord, knows I'm wild about you, black gal

You ought to be a fool about me



Well now, look-a-here, black gal

Black gal, you oughta be ashamed

The way that my baby brother know you, black gal

He's scared to call your name



And my brother says he's wild about you black gal

He's just as crazy as he can be

My brother says, wild about you black gal

You oughta be a fool about him



Well now, here's my picture, black gal

I want you to keep it in yo' frame

Now this other boy, days is all you been lookin' at

Sonny want just the same



And Lord, knows I been worrin' about you, black gal

I be as crazy as I can be

Now, I'll be thinkin' 'bout you, black gal

I hope you be kinda worried about me







Now, fare you well, black gal

I ain't got no mo' to say

There's mister so an so taken my kingdom

I want you to have yo' way



Lord, knows I'm wild about you, black gal

I'm just a crazy as I can be

You know I'm wild about you, black gal

You ought to be a fool about me.
