Little School Girl - Lightnin' Hopkins

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
