Lets Get Along by Papa Charlie Jackson Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1926

[Verse 1]
Mama, come here and listen to me
You've been tryin' to see how mean you could be
Let's get along, baby, let's get along

[Verse 2]
'Tain't every day you can get a good man
Better treat this one right whilst you can
Let's get along, baby, let's get along

[Verse 3]
I'm tired of all this storm and strife
I ain't gon' put up with this all my life
Let's get along, baby, let's get along

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Now don't be hardheaded, don't be no fool
Act like a woman, then, not like a mule
Let's get along, baby, let's get along
[Verse 5]
Now comе on, baby, let's get along
You know you love your daddy, so comе on, let's get along
Let's get along, baby, let's get along

[Verse 6]
Now at the dance the other night, it was a disgrace
The way you flirt with a man in front of my face
Let's get along, baby, let's get along

[Verse 7]
You didn't dance with nobody else but him
Do that again, it'll be too bad, Jim
Let's get along, baby, let's get along

[Verse 8]
Now the jail's all full and the graveyard too
Of aggravatin' women just like you
Let's get along, baby, let's get along

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 9]
Now I would kill you, but the folks would say it is wrong
What else can I do when you won't get along?
Let's get along, baby, let's get along
