Speak easy, speak easy

An let my machine gun rest

Speak easy, speak easy

An let my machine gun rest

It have been smokin' all night long

Ooo-well-well, an you sho' knows the rest



My woman stayed out last night

With the man that lives next do'

My woman stayed out last night

With the man that lives next do'

But when I get through with my machine gun

Ooo-well-well, she won't stay out no mo'



I know so well

She is givin' my lovin' a-way

I know so well

She is givin' my lovin' away

But when I do find her, ooo-well-well

I'm 'onna to see what my machine gun goin' to say



(piano)



I had a little faror

Goin' to her other world of other men

I had a little faror

Caught her with another man

She looked at me an said

'Hoo-well-well, please leave your machine gun dead.'
