Whoa, Tillie, Take Your Time

Whoa, Tillie, Take Your Time - Bessie Smith

Tillie Brown was a dancing fool

Spent her time in a dancing school

When the band would play

Tillie would start right in to sway

First one out on the ballroom floor

She never got enough she just craved for more

When she start to sway

All the girls and boys would say

Whoa Tillie take your time

Whoa Tillie take your time

There ain't no use to hurrying 'cause you wanna prance

You've got all night to do that dance

Whoa Tillie lay them down

Whoa Tillie Brown

You don't know what to shake

When you shake

What to break

Whoa Tillie take your time

Whoa Tillie take your time

Whoa Tillie take your time

There ain't no use to hurrying cause you wanna prance

Look out there Tillie you got all night to do that dance

Whoa Tillie lay them down

Whoa Tillie Tillie Brown

You don't know what to shake

When you shake

What to break
