If you'd come down off your steeple and mix with common people Lawdy Lawdy Lawdy what a gal Well I hope you ain't forgotten that I met you pickin' cotton Lawdy Lawdy Lawdy what a gal I guess you're old enough to wear most anything you choose But you were raised in calico and patent leather shoes How I hate those two-time traitors that's raised on beans and taters Lawdy Lawdy Lawdy what a gal
(Instrumental Break)
If you'd sell that silver foxhide and throw away that peroxide Lawdy Lawdy Lawdy what a gal You could be a little cutie but you're so doggone snooty Lawdy Lawdy Lawdy what a gal You keep your eyes wide open every time I'm kissin' you The reason why I know you do - I keep mine open too And as sure as you're a-livin' you'll get just what you're givin' Lawdy Lawdy Lawdy what a gal
(Instrumental Break)
Bridge:
You'd better make your mind up to be just what you are Don't try to hold that cigarette like some big movie star Cause you ain't had actin' courses and C.O.D. divorces Lawdy Lawdy Lawdy what a gal.
