It Wont Be Long by Charley Patton Lyrics

I believe mama I do like she say, baby
Lord, I believe mama I do like she say, baby
Go'n to cook my supper, Lord, put me in her bed

You ever go down Memphis, stop by Minglewood, babe
You ever go down to Memphis, stop by Minglewood, baby
You, Memphis women, don't mean no man no good

She's got a man on her man, got a kid on her kid, baby
She's got a man on her man, got a kid on her kid, baby
Done got so bold, Lord, won't keep it hid

Ah, all right, ain't going to be here long, baby
Ah, all right, ain't going to be here long, baby
Ah, all right, ain't gonna be here long

I believe mama sure was kind to me, baby
I believe sweet mama sure was kind to me, baby
She's up at night like a police on his beat

I'll tell you something, keep it to yourself, baby
I'm gonna tell you something, keep it to yourself, baby
Please, don't tell your husband, Lord, and no one else
She's got a long tall woman, tall like a cherry tree, baby
She's got a long tall woman, tall like a cherry tree, baby
She gets up before day and she puts that thing on me
