Old Original Kokomo Blues Songtext
von Kokomo Arnold

Now one and one is two, mama
Two and two is four
You mess around here, pretty mama
You know we got to go

Cryin′, oh, baby don't you want to go
Back to the Eleven Light City
To sweet old Kokomo

Now four and one is five, mama
Five and one is six
You mess around here, pretty mama
You′re going to get me tricked

Cryin', oh, baby don't you want to go
Back to the Eleven Light City
To sweet old Kokomo

Now six and one is seven, mama
Seven and one is eight
You mess around here, pretty mama
You′re going to make me late


Cryin′, oh, baby don't you want to go
Back to the Eleven Light City
To sweet old Kokomo

Says I told you, mama
When you first fell across my bed
You been drinkin′ your bad whiskey
And talkin' all out your head

Cryin′, oh, baby don't you want to go
Back to the Eleven Light City
To sweet old Kokomo

I don′t drink because I'm dry, mama
Don't drink because I′m blue
The reason I drink, pretty mama
I can′t get along with you

Cryin', oh, baby don′t you want to go
Back to the Eleven Light City
To sweet old Kokomo

Now eight and one is nine, mama
Nine and one is ten
You mess around here, pretty mama
I'm going to take you in


Cryin′, oh, baby don't you want to go
Back to the Eleven Light City
To sweet old Kokomo

Now ten and one is eleven, mama
Eleven and one is twelve
You mess around here, pretty mama
You going to catch a lot of hell

Cryin′, oh, baby don't you want to go
Back to the Eleven Light City
To sweet old Kokomo
