Thread Name: Lyr Req: Sugar Babe
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sugar Babe
Sugar babe what's the matter with you?
It ain't your honey but the way you do ...

All I want my sugar to do
Make five dollars and give me two ...

Went down town and bought me a rope
Whipped my baby till she buzzard-loped ...

Went down town and bought me a line
Whipped my baby till she changed her mind ...

(jeez, this song is getting violent!)

There may be another verse or two. Is there a version of this that _doesn't_ derive from Mance Lipscomb's first Arhoolie LP?
