Cla**y Mae, my sweet woman
She sho' don't do nothin' wrong
Cla**y Mae, is my sweet woman
I don't 'llow her to do nothin' wrong
An when she happen do somethin' wrong
Oh Lord, she makes it right home
Now, Cla**y Mae you know you misused me
You misused me without a cause
Cla**y Mae, you know you misused me
Whoa Lord, you misused me without a cause
But some a-these old days
I'm 'onna get round the corner
And get yo' ashes hauled
Now, you know you didn't want me
Now-now you, why didn't you tell me so?
Cla**y Mae, you know you didn't want me
Why in the world don't you tell me so?
'Cause you know I can get me a pretty woman
Most anywhere po' Tommy go
Now, if dats yo' name
Buy you a good lock an key
Yes, Good God a Mighty, now
If thats yo' name, Cla**y Mae
Buy you a good lock an key
'Cause that's the only-est way
You can stay away from me
Now, right last night
I couldn't sleep for cryin'
I say, all night last night
Cla**y Mae, you know
I couldn't sleep for cryin'
I was thinkin' 'bout somebody
Who had the loneliest life.
