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
I'm just as crazy as I can be
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.
