Kokomo Arnold Old Original Kokomo Blues Lyrics

Now one and one is two mama : two and two is four
Mess around here pretty mama : you know we got to go

Chorus:
Crying oh : baby don't you want to go
Back to the Eleven Light city : to sweet old Kokomo

Now four and one is five mama : five and one is six
You mess around here pretty mama : you going to get me
tricked

CHORUS

Now six and one is seven mama : seven and one is eight
You mess around here pretty mama : you going to make me
late

CHORUS

Says I told you mama : when you first fell across my bed You been drinking your bad whiskey : and talking all out
your head

CHORUS

I don't drink because I'm dry mama : don't drink because
I'm blue
The reason I drink pretty mama : I can't get along with
you

CHORUS

Now eight and one is nine mama : nine and one is ten
You mess around here pretty mama : I'm going to take you
in

CHORUS

Now ten and one is eleven mama : eleven and one is twelve
You mess around here pretty mama : you going to catch you
a lot of hell

CHORUS
