This is a transcription of the 1925 Charlie Jackson version from Weenie Campbell webpage

Came from the country the other day
Some cool, kind daddy stole her heart away
REFRAIN: Because mama don't allow it
Ain't gonna have it here

Says, she don't care what mama don't allow
She got a cool, kind daddy anyhow
REFRAIN: Because mama don't allow it
She ain't gonna have it here

SOLO X 2

Now, give me another kiss, we'll have some fun
We'll break 'em down and then we'll run
REFRAIN: Because mama don't allow it
Ain't gonna have it here

She says, "Come on, daddy, this ain't no joke.
You got any cigarettes, just give me a smoke."
REFRAIN: Because mama don't allow it
She ain't gonna have it here

SOLO

She says, "Honey, I like your new cap.
Daddy, say, let me sit on your lap."
REFRAIN: Because mama don't allow it
Ain't gonna have it here

Now, come on, daddy, what do you say?
Give me another kiss that very same way
REFRAIN: Because mama don't allow it
She ain't gonna have it here

SOLO X 2

You can hug me, daddy, you can squeeze me tight
Give me another kiss, 'cause you're mine tonight
REFRAIN: Because mama don't allow it
She ain't gonna have it here

SOLO X 2
