Speak easy, speak easy
An let my machine gun rest
Speak easy, speak easy
An let my machine gun rest
It have been smokin' all night long
Ooo-well-well, an you sho' knows the rest
My woman stayed out last night
With the man that lives next do'
My woman stayed out last night
With the man that lives next do'
But when I get through with my machine gun
Ooo-well-well, she won't stay out no mo'
I know so well
She is givin' my lovin' a-way
I know so well
She is givin' my lovin' away
But when I do find her, ooo-well-well
I'm 'onna to see what my machine gun goin' to say
(piano)
I had a little faror
Goin' to her other world of other men
I had a little faror
Caught her with another man
She looked at me an said
'Hoo-well-well, please leave your machine gun dead.'
