Take Me For A Buggy Ride - Original - Bessie Smith

You’re my man, you’re so nice and brown

Sweetest man in this town

I heard you say you was goin' away

And leave me here to stay

I feel like I could cry

And here’s the reason why

Daddy, you really know your stuff

When you take me for a buggy ride

I like you when you got your habits on

You can shift your gear with so much pride

I gets a funny feelin'

When you gaze into my eyes

You give me so much thrill

You make my thermometer rise

I’m happy when you’re by my side

When you take me for a buggy ride

Daddy, you’re as sweet as you can be

When you take me for a buggy ride

When you set me down up on your knee

And ask me to be your bride

When you hug and kiss me

It makes me feel fine

I gets this funny feelin'

Up and down my spine

You don’t need no teachin', you don’t need no guide

When you take me for a buggy ride

Your lovin' ain’t so forte in the park

But you a lovin', poor creature in the dark

You ain’t so hot, what can it be

That makes me say?

«Daddy, take all of me»

You always ready every time that I call

What I like about you, you never stall

You ain’t no preacher, you a good old soul

You done sent salvation to my very soul

I can’t kick but I’m satisfied

When you take me for a buggy ride
