Long Lastin’ Lovin’ Songtext
von Blind Lemon Jefferson

I wonder why my partner is sittin′ around lookin' sad
Wonder why′s my partner sittin' around lookin' sad
I mean, that woman, if she quit me, it′s gonna be too black bad

She′s a spare made woman and she's cunnin′ as a squirrel
She's a spare made woman, cunnin′ as a squirrel
When she starts to lovin', man, it′s out the world


Ah, she's a dark brownskin, we always call her 'Chocolate Drop′
She has dark brown skin and we call her ′Chocolate Drop'
Got this old-fashioned lovin′, man, it just won't stop

When I first met the woman I figured I hadn′t made no hit
When I first met the woman, figured I hadn't made no hit
She got this old-fashioned lovin′, man, it just won't quit

I met her at a sociable, she acts just like a crook
I met her at a sociable, acts just like a crook
Lord, when she starts to lovin', man it ′tain′t in the book

(Too bad mama. I mean too black bad)
