Song Lyrics

Lyrics from popular songs by Ben Prestage, in alphabetical order

Traditional

 

Big, fat mama, meat shakes on her bones x2

Every time she shakes it, some good man's dollar's gone

Big, fat mama where did you stay last night? x2

You got your dress on backward and you just don't smell right

Big fat mama, where you been so long? x2

I had no good lovin' since my big leg girl been gone

I like them pretty girls that weigh a pound per ounce

Them skinny girls shake it, but it don't bounce

Like a big-legged woman, who make a big-eyed man go blind

And a man like me will make a big-leg girl lose her mind

Written by Muddy Waters (McKinley Morganfield

 

Goin' away to leave...

written by Robert Pettway/ Willie Dixon

 

I wish I was a catfish, swimmin' in the deep blue sea
I'd have all you good lookin' women, swimmin' after me

Well, there's two, two trains runnin and no one's goin' my way
One runs just before midnight and the other just before day

I went down to my baby's house, and I sat down on her step
She said come on in now, my husband just now left

I am the back door man, the men don't know but the little girl's  understand

They took me to the doctor shot full of holes
Head nurse spoke up and said, "Save his soul!"

Killed a man for murder, 1st degree
Judge's wife cried, "Let the boy go free!"

etc...

Written by Bukka White

 

Hey people, do that Jitterbug Swing x2
If you don't know how to dance like that, baby just shake that thing

Come to my house, don't see me around x2
I must be out somewhere, oh I'm shakin' 'em on down

Need no heat or fire place by my bed x2
The girl I got keeps me cherry red
