Mississippi Fred McDowell — Good Morning Little Schoolgirl lyrics

Lyrics

Good mornin', little schoolgirl
Good mornin', little schoolgirl
Can I go?
Can I go home wit' you?
Tell yo' mama an yo' papa
Lord, I’m a li’l schoolboy, too
Come on be my baby
Come on be my baby
I’ll buy you a diamond
I’ll buy you a diamond ring
If you don’t like that, baby
I ain’t gon' buy ya a doggone thing
I don’t know hardly
I don’t know hardly
What in this world
What in this world to do?
I don’t mean to hurt yo' feelings
Or even get mad with you
I 'member way back, babe
I 'member way back, babe
When I was young age
When I was young, age a nine
Lord, I thinkin' about my school day
It sho' did worry on my mind
