Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee - I Got Fooled lyrics

Walkin' down the street this mornin' Full of my good gin A lady was in the doorway she said "Mister, won't you come on in?" She wanted me to clean her house Move her furniture around Said she would bake a jelly roll And it would be nice and brown But I got fooled Yes, I got fooled Well, don't you know I got fooled She was jivin' me all the time She said, "I own this apartment And I got a big blue Buick Sedan All that I need Is just a handy man" You know that she promised me When the work was through That I could have my way And do anything I wanted to But I got fooled, sonny Yes, I got fooled, buddy Don't you know I got fooled She was jivin' me all the time I hear you, boy But I went on and cleaned her house From the front to the back Cleaned out every corner I didn't even miss a crack, uh huh She promised me a kiss And a great big hug Sweep down my stairs now And beat my bedroom rug But I got fooled, sonny, yes, you did, boy Yes, I got fooled, buddy Don't you know I got fooled She was jivin' me all the time In the evenin' about five o'clock I said, "House lady, I'm through Come on and tell me now exactly What in the world are we gonna do?" She said, "We gonna dance all night long And have plenty of good gin" Soon as she spoke those words You know her husband come walkin' in I got fooled, sonny, yes, you did, boy I got fooled, buddy Don't you know I got fooled She was jivin' me all the time Oh, that's a shame for you to wait like that And get fooled in the end
