I've got a man in Shreveport, he's forever on my mind

I've got a man in Shreveport, he's forever on my mind

When I lay down at night, he bothers me all the time



He's a long tall papa, live mostly on Texas Avenue

He's a long tall papa, live mostly on Texas Avenue

And if I don't get that man, I'll forever have the Shreveport Blues



He's a sweet lovin' man, one that knows his stuff

He's a sweet lovin' man, one that knows his stuff

Takes me in his arms so easy, he's not a bit rough



I never get tired of lovin', cause he's got all I need

I never get tired of lovin', cause he's got all I need

I want my lovin', ten or twelve times a week
