Blue Yodel, No. 10 lyrics

Something about you, mama
That sure gives me the blues
Something about you mama
That sure gives me the blues
It ain't your drop stitch stockings
It ain't your blue buckled shoes.

You know, purdy mama
I'm bound to love you some
You know, purdy mama
I'm bound to love you some
'Cause I've done more for you
Than anybody ever done
You know it, baby.

Got me a purdy mama
Got me a bulldog, too
Got me a purdy mama
Got me a bulldog, too
My purdy mama don't love me
But my bulldog do.

There's been a groundhog rootin'
Around my yard at night
There's been a groundhog rootin'
Around my yard at night
From the way my mama been treatin' me
He must be rootin' alright
Lord have mercy.

Well, I ain't no cheatin' man
Don't try to fool no girls
I ain't no cheatin' man
Don't try to fool no girls
It's my regular lovin'
That gets me by in this world...
