Walter “Buddy Boy” HawkinsShaggy Dog Blues Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Goin' up on the mountain, I'm gonna root just like a hog
I say I'm going up on the mountain, gonna root like a hog
Because these women 'round here, they treat a good man like a dog
[Verse 2: Scatting]
Hey, dee-dee-dee-dee-dee, dee dee da da da da da dee dee dee, dee da
I said hey, dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee da, dee da
I said hey, dee dee dee dee dee dee doo
[Verse 3]
I say I'd rather be shaggy, mama, like a dog
I say I'd rather be shaggy, mama, just like a dog
Than to hear my little jet black woman said, buddy boy, she don't need me no more
[Verse 4]
When you see two old jet black women standin' off talkin' so long
When you see two old women standin' off talkin' so long
How come I say that?
Bet your life there's something goin' on wrong
[Verse 5]
My mama told me, my papa told me too
I said my mama told me, my daddy told me too
What she told me?
"Son, these women 'round here just simply won't do"
