Verse 1]
Asked sweet mama, let me be her kid
She said, "You might get hurt if you don't keep it hid"

baby if I see her in the dark
I said, I know my rider if I see her in the dark
Verse 2

m going to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
Still barrel house, but it's on the riverside, yeah
I know my
baby, Lord, I said, is really sloppy drunk
I know my mama, Lord, a brown-skin, but she ain't no plum
Uh-huh, see my
baby, tell her, tell her hurry home
Had no loving since my
baby been gone
See my
baby, tell her hurry on home
I ain't had, Lord, my right mind
Since my rider's been gone
Hey, she promises, she's my rider
I want to tell you, she's my rider
I know you're mine, she's my rider
She ain't but sixteen, but she's my rider
I'
m going to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
Anybody ask if you and me met, I keep them satisfied
But, uh, see my
baby, tell her, tell her to shake my
milk
Ain't no Lord since you nowhere
Ah, yeah
