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
