Sonny Terry - Sonny Is King

One Monkey Don't Stop The Show

You say you're leavin'
Won't be back no more
Further down the road, baby
You reap just what you sow

But that's alright
I want you to know
One monkey don't stop my show

I helped you baby
You couldn't help yourself
Now you're on your feet
You're helpin' somebody else

But that's alright
I want you to know
One monkey don't stop old Sonny's show

Ooh-ooh
Wooh-ooh
Wooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

I tuck you in, baby
You couldn't help yourself
Now you're on your feet
You're helping somebody else, I got to tell ya

But that's alright
I want you to know
One monkey don't stop my show

When I had money
Had a plenty friend
Now I ain't got a dime
Like a road that'll end

But that's alright
I want you to know
One monkey don't stop old Sonny's show

You say you're leaving
This is your last go-'round
But I found me somebody, baby
Before the sun go down

But that's alright
I want you to know
One monkey don't stop old Sonny's show
