Now, you gotten fruit on your tree
Lemons on your shelf
Now, you know lovin’ mama
That you can’t squeeze them all yourself

Now, I said please let me be your lemon squeezer
Now, whilst I’m in your lonesome town
Now, if you let me be your lemon squeezer
Lord, until my love come down

Now, it makes no difference, baby
Um, what yo’ mama don’t allow
An come on an let me squeeze your lemons, baby
I mean, anyhow

Now, I said, please let me be your lemon squeezer
Now, whilst I’m in your lonesome town
Now, if you let me be your lemon squeezer
Lord, until my love come down

I like yo’ apple in your tree
I’m crazy ’bout your peaches, too
I’m crazy about your fruit, baby
‘Cause you know just how to do

Now, please let me be your lemon squeezer
‘Yes, my Lord!’
Now, whilst I’m in your lonesome town
Now, if you let me be your lemon squeezer
Lord, until my love come down

Now, an it ain’t but the one thing, baby
Now, that’ll really make me cry
‘What man?’
I acks you ’bout your lemons, baby
An you ups an tell me a lie

Now, please let me be your lemon squeezer?
Now, whilst I’m in your lonesome town
Now, won’t you let me be your lemon squeezer?
Lord, until my love come down

(harmonica, mandolin, guitar to end)
