When I done quit hollerin' baby
I believe I shake 'em on down
Get my babe won't be late
You know by that I mean seconds late
Ah must I holler
Must I shake 'em on down

Well I've been mistreated babe
I believe I'll shake 'em on down
Shake 'em

Well I ain't no monkey

No brown skin woman gonna make No monkey out of me
I ain't no monkey
Sure can't climb no tree

I believe I'll shake 'em on down
Well I've been mistreated babe
I believe I'll shake 'em on down

Put in your nightshirt Mama we gonna shake 'em down yeah, yeah?

Must I, must I, must I shake 'em on down?
Well I've been mistreated babe

Gave my baby a twenty dollar bill
If that don't get her

Yeah, I gave my baby a twenty dollar bill
If that don't get that woman
I'm sure my shot-gun will
Gonna go shoot her now
