Subject: Lyr Add: MY LITTLE WOMAN, YOU'RE SO SWEET
MY LITTLE WOMAN, YOU'RE SO SWEET
As sung by Blind Boy Fuller on "Blind Boy Fuller: Complete Recorded Works in Chronological Order, Vol. 6, 1940" (Document Records DOCD-5096)

Ehh, mama, ehh, gal,
Don't you hear me callin' you?
You so sweet, so sweet; my baby's so sweet.

Said I love my baby, love her to her bone.
I hate to see my sweet sugar go home.
She's so sweet, so sweet; my little woman's so sweet.

See my baby comin', don't get so smart.
I'll cut your livers then I will plug your heart.
You're so sweet, so sweet; my little baby's so sweet. (Spoken: Call again, boy!)

Hey, mama, yeah, gal,
Don't you hear Blind Boy Fuller callin' you?
She's so sweet, yes, sweet; my little woman's so sweet. (Spoken: Play it now!)

Hey, mama, yeah, gal,
Don't you hear me callin' you?
She's so sweet, so sweet; my little woman's so sweet.

Woman I love, she done gone back home.
When I think I'm treatin' her right, I must be doin' wrong.
She's so sweet, so sweet; my little woman's so sweet.

I'll make a million trips, when I would rob a little bee,
But the woman I love is sweeter'n anything in this world to me.
She's so sweet, so sweet; my little woman's so sweet.

Hey, mama, yeah, gal,
Don't you hear Blind Boy Fuller callin' you?
You so sweet, yea, sweet; my little woman's so sweet.
