Lyrics

Hey, sista, whatcha gon' do? Goin' down by the river, gonna play with you Papa don't like no screamin' 'round here No lip from da woman when they chug that beer Sho nuf sun gon' shine Gon' be grown ladies of the marryin' kind Sure 'nough moon gon' rise Like a huckleberry pie in the middle of the sky Gon' be alright Gon' be alright
Writer(s): Allee Willis, Brenda Russell, Stephen Bray Lyrics powered by www.musixmatch.com
