C.w. Stoneking Talkin' Lion Blues Lyrics

O-lay-eeeeeee
O-lay-ee-ee-ee
O-de-o-lay-ee-oh-oh
O-da-lay-eee

I was over in Africa minin' for gold
O-ooh, minin' for gold
Come along a big lion, caught me in my hole
O-de-lay-eee, caught me in my hole

The lion said "Buddy, you plumb outta luck"
O-da-lay-eee, you plumb outta luck
Made a lunch for me, lawd, I had to duck
O-de-lay-eee, I had to duck

I jabbed that lion right clean in the jaw
O-ooh, right clean in the jaw
Picked up his tail, dragged him cross the floor
O-de-lay-eee, dragged him cross the floor

I chained him up in the back of my truck
O-ooh, in the back of my truck
Said, "What's that you had to say about luck?"
O-de-lay-eee, that you said about luck

The first place I took him was ten miles away
O-ooh, ten miles away
Told the people, "Listen what this lion can say"
O-de-lay-eee, what this lion can say The lion looked round, he started to cry
O-ooh, he started to cry
Said, "This man punched me and he blackened my eye"
O-da-lay-eee, and he blackened my eye

The people got angry, they started to shout
O-da-lay-ee-ee-ee-eee
Lion said, "That's what I was talkin' about"
O-de-lay-eee, oh-oh, lawd, lawd

They hauled me up the courthouse stairs
O-ooh, up the courthouse stairs
The judge was a monkey in an old wicker chair
O-de-lay-eee, in an old wicker chair

The monkey said, "Guilty", and the people all cheered
O-ooh, and the people all cheered
He slammed his gavel, said "Twenty five years"
O-da-lay-eee, said twenty five years

I'm in Africa wearin a ball and chain
O-de-lay-ee, a ball and chain
I'll never mess with a talkin' lion again
O-ooh, talkin' lion again
