Let Me Play With Your Poodle (08-15-47) - Lighnin' Hopkins, Whittaker

Now lend an ear folks while I sing this song

Don’t get mad, I don’t mean no harm!

I want to play with your poodle

I want to play with your poodle

I want to play with your poodle

I mean your little poodle dog!

Yes, that little poodle got a long shaggy tail

Well I tried to buy him but he wasn’t for sale!

Can I play with your poodle?

Can I play with your poodle?

Can I play with your poodle?

I mean your little poodle dog!

Oh, when I went down to town with my hat in my hand

I was lookin' for a woman, didn’t have no man!

I want to play with your poodle

I want to play with your poodle

I want to play with your poodle

I mean your little poodle dog!

Yes, two old maids that were layin' in a bed

Well, one turned over, this is what she said;

«Can I play with your poodle?

Can I play with your poodle?

Can I play with your poodle?

I mean your little poodle dog!»

Now Lily ol' woman, what you tryin' to do?

Tryin' to lower my brother and lower me too!

Wanna play with your poodle

I wanna play with your poodle

I wanna play with your poodle

I mean your little poodle dog!

Play it loud!
