Madrugada

The little house over yonder

With the do's all painted green

The little house over yonder

With the do's all painted green

That's my little woman's house near the corner

Woo-well-well, where you don't see no screen



My cat is got the measles

Dog is got the whooping cough

My cat is got the measles

An my dog got the whooping cough

You might as well to be's the woman

Ooo-well-well, because I'm gonna be you boss



You can always tell

When your woman is gonna throw you down

You can always tell

When your woman gon' throw you down

She's always got business

Woo-well-well, on the other side of town



Now, I ain't gon' marry

An I ain't gon' settle down

I ain't gon' marry

An I ain't gon' settle down

I'm going to stay right here

Woo-well-well, an run these peppers down



I am going to Chicago

To get my ham bone boiled

I am going to Chicago

An get my ham bone boiled

Because these St. Louis women

Woo-well, going to let my ham bone spoil.
