Little girl, little girl

I've got something I wan' say to you

Little girl, little girl, now

I've got something I wan' say to you

Now, an it ain't none a your bad treatment

I just wanna warn you about the a-way you do



You is just my little girl

An I love to hold you in my arms

You is just my little girl

I'd like to hold you in my arms

Now an if you think about me, baby

I swear you can do nothin' wrong



Tell me, baby

Baby, who can yo' little man be?

Tell me, baby

Baby, who can yo' little man be?

Lord, I wouldn't keep on worryin' you

But I want you dyin' an chained to me



Think about me when I'm gone

Little girl, think about me in yo' sleep

Think about me when I'm gone

Little girl, think about me in yo' sleep

Well now, think about how used to love me

Little girl, nobody in this world but me



But that's alright

Little girl, trouble ain't going to last always

Now, but that would be alright now

Little girl, trouble ain't going to last always

Well now, you can treat me like a dog

But you'll be sorry you treated me this a-way



Fare you well

Little girl, if I never see you any mo'

Fare you well

Little girl, if I never see you any mo', now

Well, I said that I always love you

And Sonny Boy, ain't givin' a care where you go, now.
