Little girl, little girl
I've got something I wan' say to you
Little girl, little girl, now
I've got something I wan' say to you
Now, an it ain't none a your bad treatment
I just wanna warn you about the a-way you do

You is just my little girl
An I love to hold you in my arms
You is just my little girl
I'd like to hold you in my arms
Now an if you think about me, baby
I swear you can do nothin' wrong
Tell me, baby
Baby, who can yo' little man be?
Tell me, baby
Baby, who can yo' little man be?
Lord, I wouldn't keep on worryin' you
But I want you dyin' an chained to me

Think about me when I'm gone
Little girl, think about me in yo' sleep
Think about me when I'm gone
Little girl, think about me in yo' sleep
Well now, think about how used to love me
Little girl, nobody in this world but me

But that's alright
Little girl, trouble ain't going to last always
Now, but that would be alright now
Little girl, trouble ain't going to last always
Well now, you can treat me like a dog
But you'll be sorry you treated me this a-way

Fare you well
Little girl, if I never see you any mo'
Fare you well
Little girl, if I never see you any mo', now
Well, I said that I always love you
And Sonny Boy, ain't givin' a care where you go, now.
