[Verse 1]
I get the blues for you, baby, when I look up at the sun
I get the blues for you, baby, when I look up at the sun
Come back here, we can have some real fun
[Verse 2]
Well, it's early in the evening, and everything is still
Well, it's early in the evening, and everything is still
One more time, I'm walking up on heartbreak hill
[Chorus 1]
Shake, shake, mama; like a ship going out to sea
Shake, shake, mama; like a ship going out to sea
You took all my money and you give it to Richard Lee
[Verse 4]
Down by the river, Judge Simpson walking around
Down by the river, Judge Simpson walking a-round
Nothing shocks me more than that old clown
[Verse 5]
Some of you women, you really know your stuff
Some of you women, you really know your stuff
But your clothes are all torn
And your language is a little too rough
[Chorus 2]
Shake, shake, mama; shake it til the break of day
Shake, shake, mama; shake it til the break of day
I'm right here, baby, I'm not that far away
[Verse 7]
I'm motherless, fatherless, almost friendless too
I'm motherless, fatherless, almost friendless too
It's Friday morning on Franklin Avenue
[Chorus 3]
Shake, shake, mama; raise your voice and pray
Shake, shake, mama; raise your voice and pray
If you're goin on home, ya better go the shortest way
I get the blues for you, baby, when I look up at the sun
I get the blues for you, baby, when I look up at the sun
Come back here, we can have some real fun
[Verse 2]
Well, it's early in the evening, and everything is still
Well, it's early in the evening, and everything is still
One more time, I'm walking up on heartbreak hill
[Chorus 1]
Shake, shake, mama; like a ship going out to sea
Shake, shake, mama; like a ship going out to sea
You took all my money and you give it to Richard Lee
[Verse 4]
Down by the river, Judge Simpson walking around
Down by the river, Judge Simpson walking a-round
Nothing shocks me more than that old clown
[Verse 5]
Some of you women, you really know your stuff
Some of you women, you really know your stuff
But your clothes are all torn
And your language is a little too rough
[Chorus 2]
Shake, shake, mama; shake it til the break of day
Shake, shake, mama; shake it til the break of day
I'm right here, baby, I'm not that far away
[Verse 7]
I'm motherless, fatherless, almost friendless too
I'm motherless, fatherless, almost friendless too
It's Friday morning on Franklin Avenue
[Chorus 3]
Shake, shake, mama; raise your voice and pray
Shake, shake, mama; raise your voice and pray
If you're goin on home, ya better go the shortest way
