Elsie, is sweetest girl I know
Elsie, sweetest girl I know
If you didn't love me, Elsie
Why didn't you tell me so?
Now, I followed Elsie
Right to the jumpin' off ground
I followed Elsie
To the jumpin' off ground
But I nev' felt sorry
'Till they let my baby down
Now, I followed my baby
Lord, long days and long nights
I followed my baby
Lord, long days and long nights
I followed my babe
'Till I see she wasn't gon' treat me right
You can misuse me here, now-now
But you can't when I go home
Yeah-hey-a
You can mistreat me, here
But you can't when I go home
Elsie, I got somebody there
Will really make you leave me alone
Now, I give you all my lovin', Elsie
What mo' can a po' man do?
Yeah-hey, yeah-hey
Yeah
I gave you all my lovin', Elsie
What mo' can a po' man do?
You's a sweet little girl, Elsie
But I swear you won't be true
Now, you can't have me, Elsie
Now-now and my partner, too
'Take your time'
You can't have me, Elsie
And my partner, too
'Cause you know good n' well, baby
Ooh, baby that won't do
Now, I followed you some dance, now
An you juke-juke all the time
(a-ha-ha)
I follow you to them dance
An then you juke-juke all the time
You juke-juke, so that I'd-a
Wouldn't pay you no mind
Now, if you don't quit jukin', baby
That's gon' be alright
Yeah-hey, hey
Now, if you don't quit jukin', baby
That's gon' be alright
If yo' good man don't see ya
I'll try an see ya tomorrow night.
hm-hm!
