Now you need not think because you're black
I'm going to beg you to take me back
No you need not think because I look green
I ain't never been down in New Orleans
I went down the road that smoky road
Like to brought me back on a cooling board
See that woman all dressed in red
Cause a man to kill you dead
You see that woman all dressed in blue
You can't put up with the way she do
See that woman all dressed in white
She get your five dollars she won't treat you right
Run to town hurry back
Buddy got a girl I really like
See that woman all dressed in dark
Things will look better in the Washington Park
You need not think because you look sweet
You can make a fool of me
Every time I go to town
Meet my gal hanging around
Girl I love : ain't no fool
Big as an elephant : strong as a mule
