Big Joe Turner Sweet Sixteen Lyrics

Sweet Sixteen Lyrics

(BB King speaking:)

How about it? How about it? It takes a lot of people
to make it possible,

so give 'em a big hand. Everybody is working to try
to make it nicer.

Anyway! As I leave you... a little bit of Sweet Sixteen
for the guys -

just a taste - give me C for Sweet Sixteen...



When I first met you baby, baby you were just sweet sixteen

First met
you baby, baby you was just sweet sixteen

Just left your home then baby,
oh the sweetest thing I'd ever seen



But you wouldn't do nothing
for me baby, you wouldn't do anything I asked you to

You wouldn't do
nothing for me baby, oh you wouldn't do anything I asked you to

You know
you ran away from your home baby, and now you wanna run away from old me too



My brother's in Korea baby, my sister's down in New Orleans

Brother's in Korea baby, oh sister sister down in New Orleans

You know
I'm having so much troubles people, baby I wonder what in the world is gonna
happen to me



Oh yes sweet sixteen baby... sweet sixteen... oh
yes

The sweetest thing baby, oh yes

The sweetest thing I ever
seen

You know I'm having so much trouble people, baby I wonder what in
the world's gonna happen to me



Sweet sixteen... sweet sixteen oh
yes

You know I'm having so much trouble people

Baby I wonder

Yes I wonder

Baby I wonder

I wonder what in the world's gonna
happen to me
