Lyrics

Well, I got a girl, she lives up on the hill
Well, I got a girl, she lives up on the hill
Well, this woman's tryin' to quit me
Lord, but I love her still
She's got eyes like diamonds, they shine like Klondike gold
She's got eyes like diamonds, they shine like Klondike gold
Every time she loves me, she sends my mellow soul
Oh boy, gon' jump for joy
Yeah man, happy as a baby boy
Oh baby, gon' need a brand new chew, chew toy
Yeah!
I love my baby, and I'll tell the world I do
I love my baby, and I'll tell the world I do
And I pray every night, she learns to love me too
All night, babe
All week, babe
All night, babe
All week, babe
All night, babe
All week, babe
Bye, baby bye
Bye, baby bye
Bye, baby's gone
So long, brr!
