Lyrics You Can't Have It All - Sam Wooding, Alberta Hunter

You Can't Have It All

Sadie Lee was a lovin' brown
The boys were wild about her for miles around
That’s when Lovey Joe came to town
Joe asked Sadie if he could call
But then that Sadie began to fall
And said «there ain’t no use for me to stall»
That night he asked her for a kiss
She rolled her eyes and answered with
You may have a little loving
And you’re welcome to some hugging
But you can’t have it all
There’s many a brown hanging around
But you’re the sweetest daddy that I found
It’s right here for you, you better get it
And if you do, you’ll ne’er regret it
It ain’t no use for me to stall
You may have a little loving
And you are welcome to some hugging
But you can’t have it all
Sweet brown-skin, you can’t have it all
You may have a little loving
And you’re welcome to some hugging, sir
But daddy, you can’t have it all
There’s many a brown hanging around
But you’re the sweetest that I found
It’s right here for you, you better get it
And if you do, I’m sure you’ll ne’er regret it
It ain’t no use for me to stall
You may have a little loving
And if you’re nice you can have some hugging
But you can’t have it all
Sweet brown-skin, you can’t have it all
