Messy Bessy |
| Now I’m a very conservative fella |
| And I don’t go for displays of emotion |
| But I’m in love with a chick named Messy Bessy |
| And she cuts up whenever she takes the notion |
| Now she ain’t high class like I am |
| So sometimes she gets carried away |
| And that’s when she starts to goofin' |
| And this is what you’ll hear me say |
| This is what I tell her |
| Don’t get messy, Bessy |
| Keep your whiskey quiet |
| When you’ve had a couple of drinks, woman |
| You just might start a riot |
| Don’t get messy, Bessy |
| You know what I’m talking 'bout |
| When your love comes tumblin' down |
| You wear a good man out |
| Now when that whiskey moves you |
| You start snappin' your fingers |
| And shoutin' out loud |
| You start shakin' an' quakin' |
| An' whoopin' an hollerin' |
| You talk so loud you draw a crowd |
| So don’t get messy, Bessy |
| Try to play it cool |
| 'Cause you just wait 'til I get you home |
| Then I’ll get messy too |
| You know, woman, when that whiskey moves you |
| You start to snappin' your fingers |
| And shoutin' out loud |
| You start shakin' an' quakin' |
| An' whoopin' an hollerin' |
| You talk so loud you draw a crowd |
| So don’t get messy, Bessy |
| Try to play it cool |
| 'Cause you just wait 'til I get you home |
| And I’ll get messy too |
