Lawdy Miss Clawdy

Lyrics: Lloyd Price
Music: Lloyd Price

Played by Kingfish in 1985 and 1986. It appears in some setlists as "Down In Misery", and I suspect it's the song listed in some other setlists as "Down The Road I Go".

Well, now, lawdy, lawdy, lawdy, Miss Clawdy
Girl, you know you sure look good to me
Well now, please don't excite me baby
I know it can't be me

Well I gave you all of my money
Yeah, but you just won't treat me right
You like to ball in the morning
Don't come home till late at night

Well I'm going to tell my mama
Lord, I'm going to tell everybody I see
I'm gonna tell everybody
That I'm down in misery

Well, now, lawdy, lawdy, lawdy, Miss Clawdy
Girl, you sure look good to me
You're just reeling and rocking
Fine as you can be

Well, now, lawdy, lawdy, lawdy, Miss Clawdy
Girl, you know you sure look good to me
Well now, please don't excite me baby
I know it can't be me

Well I gave you all of my money
Yeah, but you just won't treat me right
You like to ball in the morning
Don't get home till late at night

I said now bye, bye-bye-bye, baby
Don't you know I won't be calling no more
I said now bye-bye little darling
Down the road I go
