Low Down Ways Songtext
von Sonny Boy Williamson

Now listen here, baby, do you think I′m gonna be your fool?
You ought to think, baby, you want sonny-boy to be your fool
Every time I meet you, baby, walkin' up and down the street
You walk by me smilin′, act like you don't wanna speak

But I, little girl, I've got tired of your low-down, dirty ways
Well now, drinkin′ whiskey and runnin′
Around, little girl, that's all you crave

Well now, and I give you my money, baby, you left me cold in hand
You took my money, you know you started raisin′ sand
You started hittin' bootleggers
Jivin′ in every whiskey house you know
Ridin' up and down the street, and you know, Mr. So-and-So

But little girl, I′m tired of your low-down, dirty ways
Well now, drinkin' whiskey and runnin'
Around, I just declare that′s all you crave


Well now, and I was gonna buy you a pack of
Babies, I was gonna buy you a pack or two
I was gonna buy you a Cadillac, you know
Just to try to get along with you
I was goin′ down to the jewelry store
And I was gonna buy you a diamond ring
But now you won't treat me nice, and
I ain′t gonna buy you a doggone thing

But little girl, I'm tired of your low-down, dirty ways
Well now, drinkin′ whiskey and runnin'
Around, I just declare that′s all you crave

Well now, my mother told me one thing
You know, my father said the same
You runnin' around with this little girl
Son, that's gonna change your name
But I won′t pay ′em no mind, I'll continue to drink
I don′t never set down one thing, you know, I just sit and think
But I've got tired of this little girl′s low-down, dirty ways
Now and when I leave this town, I swear I'm goin′ insane
