Low Down Ways

Low Down Ways - John Lee Williamson

Now listen here baby

Do you think I'm gonna be yo' fool

Do what you think baby

You want Sonny Boy to be yo' mule

A-ev'rytime I meet you baby

Walkin' up an down the street

You walk by me smilin'

Act like you don't wanna speak

But I Iittle girl

I've got tired of your low down dirty ways

Well now drinkin' whiskey an runnin' round

Little girl that's all you crave

Well now an I give you my money baby

N' you left me cold in hand

You took my money an you know you

Started to raisin' sand

You start to hittin' in bootleggers

Drivin' 'em ev'ry whiskey hide she knows it

Ridin' up an down the street

An you know with Mr So and So

But little girl

I'm tired of yo' low down dirty ways

Well now drinkin' whiskey an runnin' around

I just declare that's all you crave

Well now I was gonna by you a Packard baby

I was gonna by you a *Packard 2

I was gonna by you a Cadillac you know

Just to try an get along wit'ch you

I was goin' down to the jewelry sto'

An I was gonna buy you diamonds ring

But now you won't treat me nice

An I ain't gonna buy you a doggone thing

But little girl

I'm tired of yo' low down dirty way

Well now drinkin' whiskey an runnin' around

I just declare that's all you crave

Well now-a my mother told me one thing

You know my father sayed the same

You runnin' around with this little girl

Sonny that's gonna change yo' name

But I won't pay 'em no mind

A-I'll continue to drink

I don't never said I want change

You know an just sit and think

But I've got tired

Of this little girl's low down dirty ways

Now an when I leave her this time

I swear I'm gonna away 'n stay
