Oh, now lawdy lawdy lawdy, Miss Clawdy,
girl, you sure look good to me.
Well, please don't excite me, baby,
tho' it can't be me.

Because I give you all my money,
girl, you just won't treat me right.
You like to ball in the morning,
don't come back until the night.

I'm gonna tell my mama, lawd, I'm gonna
tell her what you been doing to me.
I'm gonna tell everybody that I'm
down in misery.

Well, now lawdy lawdy lawdy, Miss Clawdy,
girl, you sure look good to me.
You just wheeling and rocking, baby,
you're just as fine as you can be.

Well, so bye bye bye bye, baby,
girl, I won't be trouble no more.
Goodbye, Clawdy, oh darling,
down the road I'll go.
