Little school girl
Let me tote your books to school today
Please, little school girl
Let me tote your books to school today
She said, "I says you's a bad boy
Mama said please keep you away"
(spoken: That's what she said about Lightnin')
Mama want to know what you're doin'
Yes, after you get out of her sight
She said "If I let you tote my books
Still I know, Sam, that ain't right"
When I get back home with my mother and dad
That's where I might have a fight
I told the school teacher
Little school girl carryin' too heavy a load
Yes, I told that school teacher
Little girl was carryin' too heavy a load
She say, "You better get your big, bare feets
Lightnin', make it down the road"
(spoken: That little school girl was all right in her place
But she got me, so I walked away and I say...)
Good mornin', little school girl
How have you been today?
Good mornin' little school girl
How have you been today?
I say I'll tote your books, I'll tote your books
Darlin', cause you are goin' my way
