ALBERTA
As sung by Leadbelly on "25 Lead Belly Nuggets Vol. 1" (2011)

Oh, Alberta, oh, Alberta,
Don't you hear me calling you?
Yes, Alberta, yeah, you call it what you want, boy, Alberta to do.

Oh, Alberta, oh, Alberta,
Will you tell me where did you stay last night?
Woman, you didn't come home till a little bit before daylight.

Oh, Alberta, oh, Alberta,
Tell me what in the hell you mean.
The way you sneakin' out on me beats all I ever seen.

You's a brown-skin woman; you's a brown-skin woman.
You'll never put your ...(?) down,
An' a jet-black woman'll make a jackrabbit hug a hound.

Oh, Alberta, oh, Alberta,
Will you tell me what in the hell you mean.
They way you been actin' been drinkin' benedictine.

Oh, Alberta, oh, Alberta,
Don't you yell because you …
Know you're three time seven; you'll do just what you want to do.
