|
| Oh yeah!
|
| Now, my grouchy hearted, mama
|
| She’s evil as a gal can be
|
| The more I try to love 'er
|
| The less she seem to care for me
|
| I don’t mind her laughing
|
| I love to see her have her fun
|
| I don’t mind her laughing
|
| I love to see her have her fun
|
| But when it come to loving
|
| I don’t want her to give 'way none

|
| She’s built right down on the ground
|
| Ev’rytime she kiss me
|
| My love come tumblin' down
|
| 'Can't help it none' |
