Lyrics
Hm, you know, Katie Mae is a good girl
Folks sayin' she don't run around at night
You know, Katie Mae is a good girl
Folks sayin' she don't run around at night
Yeah, you know you can bet your last dollar
Poor Katie Mae will treat you right
Yeah, you know I try to give that woman
Everything in the world she need
That's why she don't do nothing, man
Lay up in the bed and read
You know she walks just like
She got oil wells in her backyard
Yeah, you never hear that woman hootin' and hollerin' and cryin'
Talking 'bout these times being hard
Yeah, you know I bought a radio
I even bought electric fan
She say, "I'm gonna lay up here and read
And, God knows, I ain't gonna have no other man"
Made me feel so good, so good
'Til I don't know what to do
Yes, I save every dollar my poor self make, Katie Mae, do you know?
I'm gonna bring it back home to you
And I had to call her
Katie Mae, oh, Katie Mae
Katie Mae, oh, Katie Mae
Katie Mae, oh, Katie Mae
Now don't you hear me calling?
