Bell, Ed
CARRY IT RIGHT BACK HOME
Atlanta, 4 Dec. 1930
(151037‑2) Co‑14595‑D Rt RL‑325

Look here woman : making me mad
Done bringing me something : somebody done had

Let me tell you : what these women do
Go out and get something : bring it home to you

Now you need not think : because you look cute
I've got to put up : with the way you do

The woman I love : she's long and tall
When she grab you and shake you : you bound to fall

Now bring this thing : down to a test
A long tall man : you know's the best

A short stubble man : go bumpty bump
Because he ain't got the movements : in his hump

Know what you been doing : by the whiff of your jaw
*My* ??? :

You need not come here : you ain't not get none of mine
You left a man on the doorstep : hollering and crying
