Hooray, Hooray These Women is Killing Me

Hooray, Hooray These Women is Killing Me (Sonny Terry)
I think this song is meant to celebrate that crazy energy
that will forever exist between men and women. Viva la
differance!
Met a pretty little girl walkin' down the avenue
I met a pretty little girl walkin' down the avenue
I said: "Hello, baby, can I, go home with you?"
She said: "Yes, honey, gonna rock this house tonight"
She said: "Yes, baby, gonna rock this house tonight
You gotta give me pretty lovin' everything gonna be
alright"
Hooray, hooray, these women is killin' me
Hooray, hooray, these women is killin' me
If you don't believe me just stop right here and see
Well, we sung after midnight and rocked 'till the break of
dawn
Well, we sung after midnight, rocked 'till the break of
dawn
You can't get cold 'cause I'm gonna keep you warm
Hooray, hooray, these women is killin' me, oh yeah
Hooray, hooray, these women is killin' me
If you don't believe me just stop right here and see
You know we danced about 5 o'clock in the morning,
she look kind of tired so I look to her and asked her:
"honey it's 5 o'clock honey what you wanna do?"
"honey it's 5 o'clock babe what you wanna do?"
She said: "I don't care if it aches, I leave it up to you"
"I'm gonna lock this door, I wanna throw this key away"
"I'm gonna lock this door, gonna throw this key away,
I ain't goin' home I'll stay right here all day"
Hooray, hooray, these women is killin' me
Hooray, hooray, these women is killin' me
If you don't believe me just stop right here and see
Hooray, hooray, these women is killin' me
Hooray, hooray, these women is killin' me
If you don't believe me just stop right here and see
