Leroy Carr Papa Wants To Knock A Jug Lyrics

I saw your mama : in Kansas City
The way she was looking : was a doggone pity

Feet on the ground : clothes wasn't clean
Dirtiest old stuff : I ever seen

Now I got a gal : she is big as a bull
She never stops drinking : till her belly gets full

Gets full of liquor : and tries to sing
Tight like that : and shake that thing

I ask her about it : she said before long
Let's get together : because your water's on

Let's get started : be long gone
Let's get together : what you waiting on

I saw you mama : way last spring Eyeballs shining : like a diamond ring

Staggered down the street : hollering and a‑fussing
I tried to stop her : and I got a good cussing

I saw your mama : your papa too
What they was doing : just won't do

I slipped up on them : and took one look
What they was doing : wasn't in the book

If you want some loving : you want it cheap
Go down on Ellsworth : about the middle of the week

Show them girls a quarter : they won't let you go
It's four or five times : and then some more
