Harry Belafonte Auntie Mary Lyrics

Auntie Mary Lyrics

Auntie Mary, open up the door 

  Auntie Mary, open up the door 

  Auntie Mary, open up the door 

  What I did last night I ain't gonna do no more 

  Auntie Mary, open up the door 

  Auntie Mary, open up the door 

  Auntie Mary, open up the door 

  What I did last night I ain't gonna do no more 

  

  Falumi: 

  Charlie cannot take a drink 

  When he get out never stop to think 

  He would drink and drink more and more 

  When he get home I won't open up the door 

  I will not open up the door 

  I will not open up the door 

  I will not open up the door 

  What he did last night I won't let him do no more 

  

  Harry: 

  Well Mary, you buggin' me 

  I tell you I must be free 

  Woman I've got to have some fun 

  I work all day at night I drink my rum 

  

  So Mary open up the door 

  Woman open up the door 

  I tell you open up the door 

  What I did last night I ain't gonna do no more 

  

  Auntie Mary open up the door 

  Oh Mary open up the door 

  Auntie Mary open up the door 

  What he did last night he will not do no more 

  

  Auntie Mary open up the door 

  Oh Mary open up the door 

  Auntie Mary open up the door 

  What he did last night he will not do no more 

  

  Falumi: 

  Now Charlie listen to me 

  You can't be free and still have me 

  I'm tired of gettin' in a fight 

  If you get drunk you will sleep outside tonight 

  'Cause I will not open up the door 

  No I will not open up the door 

  What you did  last night I won't let you do no more 

  

  Harry: 

  Well I guess I got no more home 

  I'm going out on my own 

  I'm go get myself a fishing boat and oar 

  And you can try sleeping with the door 

  

  Auntie Mary open up the door 

  Oh Mary open up the door 

  Auntie Mary open up the door 

  What he did last night he will not do no more 

  

  Harry: Auntie Mary, open up the door 

  Falumi: Would be an improvement 

  Harry: Woman, I said open up the door 

  Falumi: Would be an improvement 

  Harry: I ain't gonna do no more
