Slow Down Little Eva

A-little mama, a-don't you know
You better stop and take it slow
The things that you do just ain't nice
I told you once and I told you twice

Slow down
Oh, little Eva, slow down
Slow down
Oh, little Eva, slow down
Slow down, child
Stop that running wild
Slow down
Oh, little Eva, slow down

Well, everybody on the avenue
A-keep a-talkin' that talk about you
Go somewhere, hide your face
'Cause you ain't a-nothin' but a big disgrace

Slow down
Hey, little Eva, slow down
Slow down
Hey, little Eva, slow down
Slow down, child
Stop that running wild
Slow down
Oh, little Eva, won't you slow down?

Oh well, your mommy, your daddy, too
A-do nothing but worry 'bout you
You won't go home, you won't get a job
You hang around town with that lazy mob

Slow down
Oh, little Eva, won't you slow down?
Slow down
Oh, little Eva, won't you slow down?
Slow down, child
Stop that running wild
Slow down
Hey, little Eva, won't you slow down?
