Take off your nightshirt mama, and your gown

Maybe 'fore day we're gonna shake 'em on down

Bukka's stopped hollerin'

Oh, must I shake 'em on down

I done stopped hollerin' mama

Must I shake 'em on down



Too much of jelly to be throwed away

Save this jelly for some old rainy day

Bukka's stopped hollerin'

Oh, must I shake 'em on down

I done stopped hollerin' mama

Must I shake 'em on down



Fix my supper and let me go to bed

This white light'nin' done gone to my head



Must I holler, Oh, must I shake 'em on down

I done stopped hollerin' mama

Must I shake 'em on down



Ain't been in Georgia but I've been told

Georgia women got the best jellyroll

Bukka's stopped hollerin'

Oh, must I shake 'em on down

I done stopped hollerin' mama

Must I shake 'em on down



See, see, mama what you gone done

Made me love you now your man done come

Bukka's stopped hollerin'

Oh, must I shake 'em on down

I done stopped hollerin' mama

Must I shake 'em on down

Baby got somethin' I don't know what it is

Made me drunker than a whiskey still



Bukka's stopped hollerin'

Oh, must I shake 'em on down

I done stopped hollerin' mama

Must I shake 'em on down
