I sure wish these people would quit their low down ways
Well I got a woman she stands five foot four from the ground
Well I got a woman she stands five foot four from the ground
Well she's tailor made and she ain't no hand-me-down
Well I got a woman now she's lightning when she smiles, lightning when she smiles
Well I got a woman now she's lightning when she smiles
Five foot and four inches and she's just good hugging size
It's on me, it's on me, nobody have pity on poor me
You've got to have now pity, pity on poor me
You may go, you may stay, you'll be back some sweet day

She may go she may stay, she'll be back some sweet day
By and by, mamma, won't you by and by?
By and by, mamma, won't you by and by?
