Nappy Head Blues

When you hear me walkin', turn your lamp down, turn your lamp down,
lamp down low
When you hear me walkin', turn your lamp down low
When you hear me walkin', turn your lamp down low
And turn it so your man’ll never know
Gonna buy me a bed and it shine like a mornin', shine like a mornin',
a mornin' star
I’m gonna buy me a bed and it shine like a morning star
Gonna buy me a bed and it shine like a morning star
When I gets to bed it rock like a Cadillac car
Your head is nappy, feet so mamlish, feet so mamlish, mamlish long
Your head is nappy, your feet so mamlish long
Your head is nappy, your feet so mamlish long
You look like a turkey, comin' through the mamlish corn
I done told you I love you, what more can I, what more can I, can I do?
I done told you I love you, what more can I do?
I done told you I love you, what more can I do?
Then you must to want me to lay down and die for you
