Look here, Alexander
I was only fooling
when I said another coon
my heart was ruling,
all the day I think
of no one else but you,
Honest Alexander
won't you please believe me?
It would break my heart in two
if you should leave me,
Won't you take me back, babe,
and I'll always be true;
Never let another man
make eyes at me,
I'll be just as sweet
as any gal can be,
you can be the boss
I'll let you have your way
Alexander, won't you let me stay?

Can't you see the rain and hail
am fastly falling, Alexander,
Don't you hear your lady love
a softly calling, Alexander,
Take me to your heart again
and call me honey
All I want is lovin'
I don't want your money, Alexander,
Tell me, don't you love your baby no more?

Can't you see the rain and hail
am fastly falling, Alexander,
Don't you hear your lady love
a softly calling, Alexander,
Take me to your heart again
and call me honey
All I want is lovin'
I don't want your money, Alexander,
Tell me, don't you love your baby no more?

Look here, Alexander
say that you remember
you ain't done a stroke of work
since last December
who went out a washin'
worked all day for you,
Listen Alexander,
you were keepin' cases
while I took in scrubbin'
you just played the races
say, if that ain't love, babe,
no gal ever loved true;
I don't want to talk
about the things I've done,
I just want to say
that you're ma only one,
I'll put up a washin' sign
outside the door,
Alexander take me back once more.

Can't you see the rain and hail
am fastly falling, Alexander,
Don't you hear your lady love
a softly calling, Alexander,
Take me to your heart again
and call me honey
All I want is lovin'
I don't want your money, Alexander,
Tell me, don't you love your baby no more?

Can't you see the rain and hail
am fastly falling, Alexander,
Don't you hear your lady love
a softly calling, Alexander,
Take me to your heart again
and call me honey
All I want is lovin'
I don't want your money, Alexander,
Tell me, don't you love your baby no more?
