Miss Stella Brown

I’ve got something I wanna say to you now

Miss Stella Brown

I’ve got something I wanna say to you

No, it ain’t about none-a yo' bad treatment

I just wanna warn you 'bout the way you do now

Miss Stella, I’ve got yo' picture

I wants to always keep it in a frame, now

Miss Stella, I’ve got yo' picture

I wants to always keep it in a frame, now

So when you are dead an gone

I will be lookin' at you just the same

Don’t stay out late at night, now

Miss Stella, please don’t run around

Don’t stay out late at night, now

Miss Stella, ple-eease don’t run around

Now, because I’m scared some a-these mean men

They may wanna knock my baby down

(instrumental — all)

I’m going to buy you an Elgin wristwatch, now

And I will even buy you a diamond ring

I’m going to buy you an Elgin wristwatch

And I will even buy you a diamond ring, now

I’m going to make yo' life happy for you

I will buy you almost anything.
