Now, here's my hand, baby

Now, here's my hand, baby

You can lead me where you wan-nu

You can lead me where you wan' me to go

Now, an if I don't make you happy

You won't have to fool wit' me no mo'



Now tell me, baby, mm

Now tell me, baby, mm

Baby, just what you want me to do

Baby, what you want me to do?

Now, do I have to be your little dog

Just to try to get along with you?



I wanna talk to my brother, T.W.

I won't have no trouble

I want him to take me to schoolroom

I wanna see some a-them little school girls

Now, an when I get-in back to Jackson

I tell my mother, Nancy

'I been all around the world'



I wanna see, Mr. Davis

Wanna talk to Mr. Walter Davis

I want him to do my a favor

Make me 'quainted with some pretty little girl

Now that, I want her to be real brown-skinned

With her hair hangin' down in curls



(harmonica & guitar)



Now, you can tell it to the eagle

You can tell it to the eagle

Let him take it out in the

Let him take it out in, the west

We're goin' to top of Smokey Mountain

That's where the eagle builds his nest



Now, I'll see you, baby

I'll see you, baby

When you're down now, just like my world

When you're down now, just like myself

Now that, I'll meet you some lonesome day

An you won't be in love wit' nobody else.
