[Verse 1]
Get your nightcap, mama and your gown
Maybe before day we're gonna shake 'em on down, eeh
Done stopped hollerin', now, oh, must I shake 'em on down?
I done stopped hollerin', mama, must I shake 'em on down?
[Verse 2]
Too much of jelly to be throwed away
Save this jelly for some old rainy day, eeh
Done stopped hollerin', oh, must I shake 'em on down?
I done stopped hollerin', mama, must I shake 'em on down?
[Verse 3]
Fix my supper and let me go to bed
This white lightnin' done gone to my head, eeh
Must I holler, oh, must I shake 'em on down?
I done stopped hollerin', mama, must I shake 'em on down?
[Verse 4]
I ain't been in Georgia, but I've been told
Georgia women got the best jellyroll, eeh
Done stopped hollerin', oh, must I shake 'em on down?
I done stopped hollerin', mama, must I shake 'em on down?
[Verse 5]
See, see, mama what you done done
Made me love you now your man done come, eeh
Done stopped hollerin', oh, must I shake 'em on down?
I done stopped hollerin', mama, must I shake 'em on down?
[Verse 6]
Baby got somethin', don't know what it is
Make me drunker than an old whiskey still, eeh
Done stopped hollerin', oh, must I shake 'em on down?
I done stopped hollerin', must I shake 'em on down?
