Well, my baby she long and she tall and she weep like a willow tree
Well, my baby long and she's tall and she weep like a willow tree
Ev'ry time she love me, she make my love come down

I seen my baby this mornin', she was weepin' to herself
I seen my baby this mornin', she was weepin' to herself
She says, "John Lee, I need lovin' and I just can't help myself, yes, baby"

Uh, huh?

Hey, yes love me, love me, love me, daddy, love me all night long
Yeah, love me, love me, daddy and love me all night long
'Cause your baby, she need lovin', lovin' with a thrill
