Kat, look under Blues.
I'm a Winnin' boy. Don't deny my name.
I'm an winnin' boy. Don't deny my name. My name.
I'm a winnin' boy. Don't deny my name
I pick it up and shake it like a Stavin' Chain.
And I'm a winnin boy. Don't deny my name.
Momma, Momma, Momma, take a look at Sis.
Repeat twice
She's out there on the levee doin' the double twist,
And I'm a winnin' boy. Don't deny my name.
Sister, Sister, Sister, silly little sow.
Repeat twice
You're tryin' to be a bad girl and you don't know how,
And I'm a winnin' boy. Don't deny my name.
There may be other verses but these are the only ones I know. I honestly can't remember where I learned the song, but Leon Redbone has recorded it. Sorry but I don't recall which album it is on. It's also in a book called "Country Blues" but I don't own it.
