Lord, how she shined.
Papa was a good'n,
But the jealous kind.

Mama loved men.
Mama's in the graveyard;
Papa's in the pen.”

“Hey mama, don't you treat me wrong,
Come and love your daddy all night long.
All right now, hey hey, all right.
See the girl with the diamond ring;
She knows how to shake that thing.
All right now now now, hey hey, hey hey.
Tell your mama, tell your pa,
I'm gonna send you back to Arkansas.
Oh yes, ma'm, you don't do right, don't do right.”
