Lawdy Miss Clawdy (Alternate Take 1) Lyrics

Engineer: G2WB 1293, Take 1

Well now, lawdy, lawdy, lawdy, Miss Clawdy
Girl, you sure look good to me
Well, please don't excite me baby
Know it can't be me
Because I gave you all my money
Girl, but you just won't treat me right
You like to ball in the mornin'
Don't come back till late at night
I'm gonna tell, tell my mama
Girl, I'm gonna tell what you doing to me
I'm gonna tell everybody
That I'm down in misery
Well, lawdy, lawdy, lawdy, Miss Clawdy
Girl, you sure look good to me
You just wheel and rockin' baby
Just as fine as you can be
Well so bye, bye-bye, baby
Girl, I won't be comin' no more
Bye darlin', I'm dying
Down the road I go

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
