Lightnin' Hopkins — Let Me Play With Your Poodle lyrics

Lyrics

Now lend an ear folks while I sing this song
Don’t get mad, I don’t mean no harm!
I want to play with your poodle
I want to play with your poodle
I want to play with your poodle
I mean your little poodle dog!
Yes, that little poodle got a long shaggy tail
Well I tried to buy him but he wasn’t for sale!
Can I play with your poodle?
Can I play with your poodle?
Can I play with your poodle?
I mean your little poodle dog!
Oh, when I went down to town with my hat in my hand
I was lookin' for a woman, didn’t have no man!
I want to play with your poodle
I want to play with your poodle
I want to play with your poodle
I mean your little poodle dog!
Yes, two old maids that were layin' in a bed
Well, one turned over, this is what she said
Can I play with your poodle?
Can I play with your poodle?
Can I play with your poodle?
I mean your little poodle dog!
