  • Well, now, lawdy, lawdy, lawdy, Miss Clawdy
    Girl, you sure look good to me
    Well, please don't excite me baby
    Know it can't be me

    Because I gave you all my money
    Girl, but you just won't treat me right
    You like to ball in the mornin'
    Don't come back till late at night

    I'm gonna tell, tell my mama
    Lord, I swear to god, what you been doing to me
    I'm gonna tell everybody
    That I'm down in misery

    Well, now, lawdy, lawdy, lawdy, Miss Clawdy
    Lord, I swear to god you look good to me
    You just a-wheelin' and rockin', baby
    Just as fine as you can be

    Well, so bye, bye-bye, baby
    Girl, I won't be comin' no more
    Good-bye, cruel little darlin'
    Down the road I go Writer/s: Lloyd Price
