Say mama, can I go out tonight?
Say mama, will it be alright?
They got a rockin’ party goin’ down the street
Say mama, can’t you hear that beat?
Woa, woah, woa-hoo-hoo-hoo, woa, woah, woa-hoo-hoo-hoo, woah, yeah.

Say mama, don’t you look that way
’cause I know just what you’re going to say
Well mama, well don’t be mad

Well ... the road is rocky but it won’t be rocky long
Ah, this old road is rocky but it won’t be rocky long
Well, another man got my baby and gone

Well, I got the blues, I’m wearing the soles right outta my shoes
Aw, I got the blues, I’m wearing the soles right outta my shoes
My baby ran away and left me with the doggone blues (ah, go home) (yeah)

Down in the country, amongst the pines
Norfolk, virginia, near the north carolina line
Down in the country, amongst the pines
Norfolk, virginia, near the north carolina line

Well now me and old elmer waterfield
Used to sit beneath the pines
Arguing whose car was faster
Was it his or was it mine
Then hear and tell the story
You’d swear that it was true
His old ford and one plymouth of me

Well I wanna-wanna lotta-lotta lovin'

Well I wanna-wanna lotta-lotta huggin'

So baby can't you see that you were meant for me

I want your lovin', yes-a-ree.

Well I wanna-wanna lotta-lotta huggin'

Well I wanna-wanna lotta-lotta kissin'

So baby please proceed to get the love I need

I want your lovin' yes indeed.

Well, I want you, I love you, I need you so much

In my dreams you told me that you really really care
In my dreams you told me it’s a love that can’t compare
So hold me, hold me, hold me, and never ever let me go.

In my dreams you told me it’s a love that can’t compare
In my dreams you told me it’s a love you want to share
So hold me, hold me, hold me, and never ever let me go.

Well ... hold me baby, hold me baby
Hold me baby, hold me baby
Hold me baby, hold your love for me
But, rock rock, rock a baby
Rock rock, rock a baby
Rock rock, rock a baby

Yeah, hug me baby, hug me baby
Hug me baby, hug me baby
Hug me baby, hug me all the time
But, rock rock, rock a baby

Gotta tell you baby, everything's alright
Well I told you baby, where I was last night
But no matter what I say baby, you can't see the light
Gotta tell you baby, promises I kept
Well, I told you baby, sorta step by step
But no matter what I say baby, I'll live without your help.
Gonna back up baby and start all over again
Gonna back up baby and start all over again

And her name is baby blue

She looked into my eyes and say
