You got to help me some - Memphis Slim, Slim Memphis

Now you may be sweet little woman

As the apple on a tree

Don’t want no woman to lay up

And depend on me

You got to help me some

Yes, you’ve got to help me some

Don’t care what I do

Babe you’ve got to help me some

Now if I’m the Pullman porter, girl

You’ve got to be the maid

So when every Saturday come

We both can get paid

So you can help me some

Yes, I want you to help me some

I don’t care what I do

Babe, you’ve got to help me some

Now when I go to bed little girl

And lay up beside-a you

Now if I shake the cover

Please try to shake it too

So you can help me some

Yes, I want you to help me some

And I don’t care what I do

Babe you’ve got to help me some

Help me some little girl, help me some!

Now don’t stand there and look at me like that

C’mon and help me some!

Now that’s better, yes, yes, yes, yes

Now there’s no such thing as man and wife

Now-a-day

We’re just called partners

So you can knock yourself a slave

So you can help me some

Yes, I want you to help me some

I don’t care what I do

Babe, you’ve got to help me some
