KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF HER
(Huddie Ledbetter)

Keep your hands off, keep your hands off her,
Keep your hands off her, keep your hands off her,
Keep your hands off her, you know what I said,
You know she don't belong to you.

She's a heavy-hipped mama, she's go the great big legs.
She's a heavy-hipped mama, she's got the great big legs.
She's a heavy-hipped mama, she's got the great big legs.
Walking like she walkin' on soft boiled eggs.

Keep your hands off, keep your hands off her,
Keep your hands off her, keep your hands off her,
Keep your hands off her, you know what I said,
You know she don't belong to you.

Her name is Josie and she ain't so nosey.
Her name is Josie and she ain't so nosey.
Her name is Josie and she ain't so nosey.
But boy, she sure is cosy.

Keep your hands off, keep your hands off her,
Keep your hands off her, keep your hands off her,
Keep your hands off her, you know what I said,
You know she don't belong to you.

She's a heavy-hipped mama and she's built up straight.
She's a heavy-hipped mama and she's built up straight.
She's a heavy-hipped mama and she's built up straight.
She's got just what it takes.

Keep your hands off, keep your hands off her,
Keep your hands off her, keep your hands off her,
Keep your hands off her, you know what I said,
You know she don't belong to you.
