Shaggy Dog Blues
I'm goin' up on the mountain, I'm gonna roost just like a hawk
I say, I'm goin' up on the mountain, tryin' to roost just like a hawk
Because the women round here treat a good man like a dog
Say, I'd rather be shaggy, mama just like a dog
I say, I'd rather be shaggy, mama just like a dog
Than to hear my jet black woman say
"Buddy Boy", she don't need me no more
When you see two old jet black women standing up talkin' so long
When you see two old black women standing up talkin' so long
Sp: How come I say that!
Bet your life there's something going on wrong
My mama told me, my papa told me too
I say, my mama told me, my daddy told me too
Sp: What she told you now?
These women round here just simply won't do
I say, I'm goin' up on the mountain, tryin' to roost just like a hawk
Because the women round here treat a good man like a dog
Say, I'd rather be shaggy, mama just like a dog
I say, I'd rather be shaggy, mama just like a dog
Than to hear my jet black woman say
"Buddy Boy", she don't need me no more
When you see two old jet black women standing up talkin' so long
When you see two old black women standing up talkin' so long
Sp: How come I say that!
Bet your life there's something going on wrong
My mama told me, my papa told me too
I say, my mama told me, my daddy told me too
Sp: What she told you now?
These women round here just simply won't do
