Way down in Alabama
There’s a girl just a waitin’ for me
She don’t have to worry
She don’t have to hurry
Lord, I keep her so happy

She’s my sugar baby
Sugar, sugar baby

Sugar, sugar baby

Lordy, Lordy pretty mama
Yes you’re tough enough
Lordy, Lordy mama
Go on and strut your stuff

My sugar baby
Sugar, sugar baby
Sugar baby

You know my love
Is gonna last you longer

Sugar baby
