Anybody know this song? Lyrics I recall (with "dahdahs" for stuff I don't remember):

Don't be no (dahdah), don't be no fool,
Don't let these women break your rule.

Chorus:
You got to warm it up to me.
Warm it up to me.
(Dahdahdahdahdah),
Papa hate to get it cold.

Don't be no (dahdah), don't be no lame,
Don't let these women leave your heart in pain.

I haven't had much luck with this book because it is indexed only by recording artist, but it worked this time - thanks to the hint from Bob the Postman. The book doesn't have the chorus, so I had to transcribe it by ear. Anybody know where to find an online recording of this? There's a 30-second clip here (click)

WARM IT UP TO ME
(Blind Willie McTell)
[Recorded New York, 14 Sept. 1933 (14008-2) Vo-02595]

Take a little trip : up on a mountain top
Show the Florida women : how to eagle rock

CHORUS
You got to warm it up to me,
You got to warm it up to me;
Papa run hot,
Mama got to get him cold.

Tell you like the *bana* : told the *king of sal*
Get another man : I got another gal

Now if you don't believe : I can warm you right
Take me to your house : and let me stay all night

When you see me mama : standing in the door
Papa wound up : saying mama won't go

Don't be no *resting* : don't be no late
Don't let these women : leave your heart insane

Now look here boy: don't get rough
These here women : they really knows their stuff

I want you to set on a Cadillac : sit on a Ford
You do that strutting : on the running board

Don't be no rat : and don't be no fool
Don't let these here women : break your rule

Now look here boy : if you going to be my friend
Let's go drink : moonshine again

Now take it easy : late at night
One of these here women : ain't going to treat you right
