You can drop down, Daddy
Let your Mama see
You got something, baby
That keeps on worrying me

Well, my mama won’t allow me
To fool around late at night
Said: “You may be too young
Some men might not treat you right”

Well, the Jack of Diamonds
Told the Queen of Spades:
“Oh, come on, babe
Let’s talk and creep away”

Oh my, my mama won’t allow me
To fool around all night long
Said: “You may be too young
Some men might treat you wrong”

Well, stop scratching on my window
Stop knocking on my screen
You’re an evil man
And I know this what you mean

Well, my mama won’t allow me
To fool around late at night
Said: “You may be too young
Some men might not treat you right”

Well, you know some of these men
Full of so much job
Got a handful of “gimme”
Mouthful of much or bly

Oh my, my mama won’t allow me
To fool around all night long
Said: “You may be too young
Some men might treat you wrong”

Well, if you see me coming
Through your woman outdoors
I ain’t no stranger
I’ve been here before

But my mama won’t allow me
To fool around late at night
Said: “You may be too young
Some men might not treat you right”

You can drop down, Daddy
Let your Mama see
You got something, baby
That keeps on worrying me

Oh my, my mama won’t allow me
To fool around all night long
Said: “You may be too young
Some men might treat you wrong”

Said: “You may be too young
Some men might treat you right”
