Lawdy Miss Clawdy Lyrics

Lawdy Miss Clawdy lyrics

Oh, now lawdy lawdy lawdy, Miss Clawdy,

girl, you sure look good to
me.

Well, please don’t excite me, baby,

know it can’t be me.



Because I give you all my money,

girl, but you just won’t treat
me right. 

You like to bawl in the morning,

don’t come back ’til
late at night.



I’m gonna tell, tell my mama, lawd, I swear to God 
  

what you been doing to me.

I’m gonna tell everybody that I’m

down in misery.



Well, now lawdy lawdy lawdy, Miss Clawdy,

lawd, I swear don’t you look good to me.

You just wheeling and rockin’,
baby,

just as fine as you can be.



Well, so bye bye bye,
baby,

girl, I won’t be trouble no more.

Goodbye, Clawdy, oh
darling,

down the road I’ll go.



- Lloyd Price
