I wrote a letter and
I mailed it right in the air
Oh I wrote a letter
and mailed it in the air
You can tell by that I've got
a man in the world somewhere
I want all you women
to strictly understand
Oh I want you women
to strictly understand
Every man wears overalls,
he's not no monkey man

So many days I stole away and I cried
So many days I stole away and I cried
Didn't have no blues I just
was not really satisfied
I don't want no man really
goin' to fuss and fight
I don't want no man really
goin' to fuss and fight
I'm my mama baby child and
you got to treat me right

Right soon one morning
just about the dawn of day
Oh right soon one morning
about the dawn of day
Some old low down woman
stole my sweet sweet man away
I layed down last night and
I tried to take my rest
Oh I layed down last night
and tried to take my rest
My mind traveled like
a wild goose way out in the West

Don't think you are dandy
because you are long and tall
Please don't think you're dandy
because you're long and tall
Oh I'll shake your tree just
to see your peaches fall
Oh Shorty George is the
only man I've choose
Oh shortly George is
the only man I've choosed
And I'll tell the world right now
I've got Shorty George George Blues
