*Asked sweet mama
*Let me be her kid
*She said, «You might get hurt
*If you don’t keep it hid»
Well I know my baby
If I see her in the dark
I said I know my rider
If I see her in the dark
#Now, I goin’ to Rosedale
#Take my rider by my side
#Still barrelhouse
#If it’s on the riverside, yeah
I know my baby
Lord, I said, is really sloppy drunk
I know my mama
Lord, a brownskin, but she ain’t no plum
See my baby, tell her
Tell her hurry home
Had no lovin’, since
My baby been gone
See my baby
Tell hurry on home
I ain’t had, Lord, my right mind
Since my rider’s been gone
Hey, she promises
She’s my rider
I wanna tell you
She’s my rider
I know you’re mine
She’s my rider
She ain’t but sixteen
But she’s my rider
#I’m goin’ to Rosedale
#Take my rider by side
Anybody argue with me man
I’ll keep them satisfied
%Well, see my baby, tell her
%Tell her the shape I’m in
Ain’t had no lovin’
Lord, since you know when

#Squeeze my lemon
#’Til the juice runs down my leg
#Squeeze it so hard
#I’ll fall right out of bed
#Squeeze my lemon
#’Til the juice runs down my leg
#Spoken: I wonder if you know what I’m talkin’ about
#Oh, but the way that you squeeze it girl
#I swear I’m gonna fall right out of bed
Ah, she’s a good rider
Hey yeah
+She’s my kindhearted lady
#I’m gonna take my rider by my side
+I said her front teeth are lined with gold
+She’s gotta mortgage on my body
+Gotta lien on my soul
She’s my brownskin sugar plum
