Tell me pretty mama, what can I do to change your mind? Tell me pretty mama, what can I do to change your mind? You know you keep me worried and bothered, I'm worried all the time. Sometimes I believe you done found my black cat bone. Sometimes I believe you done found my black cat bone. You know I can leave early in the morning, At night I'm creeping 'round home. Goodbye, goodbye baby, you know I'm going away to stay. Goodbye, goodbye baby, you know I'm going away to stay. Hope I don't come back until you change your low down ways. Seem like I hear somebody calling me. Seem like I hear somebody calling me. Now it calls just like my old time used to be.
