Subject: Lyr Add: TAILOR MADE BABY (Big Joe Williams)
I listened to this on Spotify & made this transcription:

TAILOR MADE BABY
As sung by Big Joe Williams on "Blues Classics" (L & R Music/Records, 1996)

Whoa, babe!
Whoa, babe!
Tailor made.
Tailor made.
Don't you wish your little gal was tailor make like mine?

I'm goin' set in the shade, baby.
Have your dresses made.
I'm goin' set in the shade, woman, have your dresses made.
Well, I love my baby 'cause—tailor made.

Don't you wish your gal was tailor made like mine?
Don't you wish your gal—tailor made like mine?
Tailor made, she's built right from the ground.

Goin' down by the river, swing out on a limb.
Goin' down to the river, swing out on a limb.
I'm gonna ask my baby, must I sink or swim?

Tailor made.
Tailor made, child.
Yeah, you wish your woman was tailor made like mine.
Ha-ha-ha!
