Kokomo Arnold — Long and Tall lyrics

Lyrics

Says I love you mama: but you don’t even care for me Because you a long tall woman: and I sure God ain’t
going to let you be Now she’s long and she’s tall: shaped just like a cannonball
Says I found that woman: where the Southern cross the
Yellow Dog
Then I heard the church bells toning: way out on Dago
Hill
Then my heart struck sorrow: I guess you know just how I feel
Says now tell me mama: what make you do me like you do Now some day you going to want me: and I swear and I won’t want you
Some people crave high yellow: please give me my black
and brown
Now if you mess with me mama: I’m sure going to turn
your damper down
