Mama, come here and listen to me You've been tryin' to see how mean you could be Let's get along, baby let's get along T'ain't every day you can get a good man You better treat this one right, whilst you can Let's get along, baby, let's get along I'm tired of all this storm and strife I ain't gon' put up with this all my life Let's get along, baby, let's get along Now I don't see how a lady don't stay no fool Act like a woman, then, not like a mule Let's get along, baby, let's get along Spoken: Now, come on, baby, let's get along. You know you love your daddy, so come on, let's get along Let's get along, baby, let's get along I went to dance the other night, it was a disgrace The way you sit with a man in front of my face Let's get along, baby, let's get along You didn't dance with nobody else but him Do that again, it'll be too bad, Jim Let's get along, baby, let's get along Now the jail's all full and the graveyards too Of aggravatin' women, just like you Let's get along, baby, let's get along Now I wouldn't beat her, but to perpetrate is wrong What else can I do when you won't get along? Let's get along, baby let's get along
