Lyrics You Can't Lose-a Me Cholly - Leadbelly

I went a-rowing and my gal went too,
Down on the bottom and the boat broke through,
Every time she turned around she said it so funny,

You can't lose-a me, Charlie,
You can't lose-a me, boy.

Up to Willie Winston's I went a roading,
Down on my knees, I was doing little courting,
Every time she turned around she said it so funny

Hog and sheep they went to the pasture,
Hog said to sheep, You'd better go a little faster,
Every time she turned around, she said it so funny,

I got a yella gal I can't keep.
She use the dollar up every week
Every time she turned around, she said it so funny,

I got a yella gal I can't keep.
She use up the dollar money every week
Every time she turned around, she said it so funny,
I got a pretty boy to bring me the money.

Hog and sheep they went to the pasture,
Hog said to sheep, You'd better go a little faster,
Every time she turned around, she said it so funny,

Up to Willie Winston's I went a roading,
Down on my knees, I was doing little courting,
Every time she turned around she said it so funny
