歌词
Now here's one thing, can't understand
It's why a bow-legged woman likes a knock-kneed man
Mama, can I holler, daddy, won't you shave 'em dry
Now I'm going downtown, spread the news
State Street women wearin' brogan shoes
Mama, let me holler, daddy, won't you shave 'em dry
Now I'm going away to wear you off my mind
You keep me broke and hungry, mama, all the time
Mama, can I holler, daddy, won't you shave 'em dry
Now here's one thing I can't understand
A good-lookin' woman likes a workin' man
Mama, let me holler, daddy, won't you shave 'em dry
Now, don't see how you hungry women can sleep
You gimme all day without a bite to eat
Mama, let me holler, daddy, let me shave 'em dry
Now if it wasn't for the powder, store-bought hair
State Street women couldn't go nowhere
Mama, let me holler, daddy, won't you shave 'em dry
Now I went to the Jew the other night
The people on State Street were trying to flight
Mama, let me holler, daddy, won't you shave 'em dry
I ain't crazy about the yella, a fool about the sound
You can't tell the difference when the sun go down
Mama, let me holler, daddy, let me shave 'em dry
When you see two women runnin' hand-by-hand
You bet your bottom dollar one's got the other one's man
Mama, let me holler, daddy, let me shave 'em dry
Now run here, mama, lay back in my arms
If your man catch you, I don't mean no harm
Mama, let me holler, daddy, won't you shave 'em dry
