Something about you, mama
  That sure gives me the blues
  Something about you mama
  That sure gives me the blues
  It ain't your drop stitch stockings
  It ain't your blue buckled shoes
  
  You know, purdy mama
  I'm bound to love you some
  You know, purdy mama
  I'm bound to love you some
  'Cause I've done more for you
  Than anybody ever done
  You know it, baby...
  
  Got me a purdy mama
  Got me a bulldog, too,
  Got me a purdy mama
  Got me a bulldog, too
  My purdy mama don't love me
  But my bulldog do
  
  There's been a groundhog rootin'
  Around my yard at night
  There's been a groundhog rootin'
  Around my yard at night
  From the way my mama been treatin' me
  He must be rootin' alright
  Lord have mercy...
  
  Well, I ain't no cheatin' man
  Don't try to fool no girls
  I ain't no cheatin' man
  Don't try to fool no girls
  It's my regular lovin'
  That gets me by in this world
