(instrumental intro)
Well, I got somethin’to tell ya Baby, you can’t do You can’t love me And some other man, too
'Cause you’s a old lady
Know you’s a old lady
Now, you’s a old lady
Babe, an you don’t know how you do Well, I give you my money
You left me cold in hand
You’re takin’my money
An give it to your other man
But you’s a old lady
Know you’s a old lady
Know you’s a old lady
You don’t know exactly how you do
'Well, sing it Maceo'
(harmonica &instrumental)
Now, you promised me a car
You know, an a diamond ring
You bought my clothes
You couldn’t understand
'Cause you was a old lady
Know you was a old lady
You was a old lady
You didn’t know exactly how do you do You said, when you look at my face
You love me mo’an mo'
I could love you, too
But I just won’t tell you, so
'Cause you’s a old lady
'Cause you’s a old lady
Know you’s a old lady
And you don’t know exactly how you do
(harmonica &instrumental)
Well, you put out my dress, I bought you
You put off my stockin’s, too
You’s so funny, I can no wonder
You don’t know exactly how to do
'Cause you’s a old lady
Know you’s a old lady
Know you’s a old lady
You don’t know exactly how you do
(harmonica &instrumental)
Now, an I got some’in to tell ya Know soon, you 'llow me a-change
I don’t want you, find yourself another man
'Cause you’s a old lady
'Cause you’s a old lady
Know you’s a old lady
You don’t know exactly how to do.
