Come on, please take a walk with me
Come on, please take a walk with me
Back to the same old place, baby where we long to be

Come on, please take a walk with me
Come on, please take a walk with me
Back to the same old place, baby where your plantation is

Now you know early one mornin' baby, 'bout half past four
You know you come knockin' upon poor Nattie's door
Come on, please take a walk with me
Back to the same old place baby where we long to be

When I call on that gal you know, I'm gonna walk so slow
Tell ya ev'rytime ya see my little woman come walkin', walk some more
Come on, please take a walk with me
Back to the same old place, mama, where we long to be

Well you know I'm gonna take a little walk, on the avenue
I've got somethin' baby, for you to do
Come on, please take a walk with me
You want your daddy to take a walk wit' you?
Back to the same old place, gal where we long to be

Well now you know I believe I'll walk after I walk
On outta this town
I'm gettin' tired of you doggin' me woman, now
Doggin' me around
Come on, please take a walk with me
Back to the same old place, gal where we long to be
