Lyrics It’s Tight Like That - Tampa Red

It’s Tight Like That

Listen here folks: I’m going to sing a little song
Don’t get mad: we don’t mean no harm
There was a little black rooster: met a little brown hen
Made a date at the barn: about half past ten
I went to see my gal: up across the hall
Found another mule: kicking in my stall
Now the gal I love: she’s long and slim
When she whip it: it’s too bad Jim
Now the rooster crowed: and the hen looked around
At the *bom bom diddly*: got to carry me into town
Mama had a little dog: and its name was Ball
And if you give him a little taste: he want it all
Uncle Bud and Aunt Jane: went to *take a pan hon*
Aunt Jane fell down: and Uncle Bud
If you see my gal: tell her to hurry home
I ain’t had no sass: since she been gone
I wear my britches: up above my knees
Strut my jelly: with who I please
Uncle Bill came home: about half past ten
He see in the hole: but he couldn’t get in
Me and my brother: was up in the loft
We was seeing a film: when they broke it off
