Words by Victoria Williams



Little bitty baby

Mom and daddy died

Little bitty baby

Crawled outside

Boogeyman found her

Took her to the woods

He raised up little baby

He raised up real good

CHORUS:

Now you talk so dirty bout the boogeyman

Don't you talk so dirty bout him

Yes I hear you talking real dirty now

Don't you talk so dirty bout the boogeyman

Baby grew up

The boogeyman grew old

The baby turned a beauty

But no one ever told her

The boogeyman he died

The baby she cried

Baby rolled the boogeyman

Up on his sides

REPEAT CHORUS

Baby rolled the boogeyman

Down to the river

There she rolled him in

Long come serpent Sam

He took the beauty

He took her to the city

There he done her wrong

Oh he done her wrong

Beauty had a baby

She didn't know what to do

She took the little baby and they went out to the woods

REPEAT CHORUS

Now I'm not talking about ?

Talkin' bout a nice old like Mr ?

Funny clumps on his head

And all the children said

Mr ? he's a ? old man
