Springtime coming, and the gra** all growin' green
I said, springtime coming, and the gra** all growin' green
Says, my time has come, but the blues don't worry me
There's so many women, there's so many different kinds
There's so many women, seems like so many different kinds
When one quit me, it sure don't worry my mind
My mama give me a lock and my papa give me the key
I say, my mama give me a lock and my papa give me the key
Then I sure know how to lock the blues off o' me
Got a brownskin woman, make a man leave his home
I said, a brownskin woman will make a man leave his home
Then a jet black woman make a gum tree bear pecans
I got Northern women, I got Southern women too
I got Northern women, I got southern women too
I ain't gonna tell these Northern women what them Southern women can do
