Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Walk with my baby, she got great big feet
She long, lean, lanky and had nothing to eat
She's my baby, I love her just the same
Yeah, I'm crazy about this woman, Caldonia is her name
[Verse 2]
Caldonia, Caldonia
Why makes your big head so hard?
I love ya, I love ya just the same
You know, I'm crazy about this woman, Caldonia is her name
[Verse 3]
You know what? What's that?
My mother told me to leave that girl alone
She, my mother, jiving
She don't know what to do think about this girl
So, you know, he's putting on
So I'm going back down in the house
Call her one more time
I hope she hear me
Oh, she gonna hear you alright
[Verse 4]
Caldonia, Caldonia
What makes your big head so hard? C'mon
I love ya, I love ya just the same
You know, I'm crazy about this woman, Caldonia is her name
[Verse 5]
Oh you know
My mother keep on telling me that you're the one
I heard what you said
Now, she said son,  she will bale you around if the moment is good
Putting down what I did
So now I've gotta go back out and call her one more, once
I need one more game
[Verse 6]
Caldonia, donia
What makes your big head so hard?
I loose her, loves her just the same
And dreams about you, baby
Caldonia is your name
[Verse 7]
I mean crazy about you, baby
Wild about you, baby
Crazy about you, baby
Wild about you, baby
Crazy about you, baby
Wild about you, baby
Crazy about you, baby
Wild about you, baby
And I'm crazy about you, baby
'Cause Caldonia is your name
[Verse 8]
Wild about you, baby
Wild about you, baby
Wild about you, baby
Wild about you, baby
Crazy about you, darling
Wild about you, baby
Crazy about you, baby
Wild about you, baby
And I'm crazy about you, baby
'Cause Caldonia is your name
