97 Men in This Here Town - Buffy Sainte-Marie

Love you, daddy, and I know you know,

you got a good thing going, papa, don’t let go

'cause there are 97 men in this here town

would give a half a grand in silver just to follow me down

so appreciate a dedicated baby,

'cause boy, you are a lucky man

I’ll take you down by the river where the catfish play

bed around, baby, gonna kick all day

no need to wander, no need to roam

you got a full meal cooking, honey, here at home

so appreciate a dedicated baby,

'cause boy, you are a lucky man

Say I’m confused, say I’m perplexed

one fellow told me I was oversexed

don’t you believe it, 'cause it just ain’t true

you know it’s just 'cause I got a little crush on you

So before you turn your back on me

to take a look at all the other fishes in the sea

remember a plenty good woman is hard to find

and I’m the hootchi kootchie lovey doving kind

so appreciate a dedicated baby,

'cause boy, you are a lucky man

Don’t call me honey when your mother’s around

boy, you know you’re gonna drive her wild

Don’t call me honey when your mother’s around

boy, you never again may smile

listen to me, hear my song

she’s afraid I’m gonna lead her little boy wrong

Don’t call me honey when your mother’s around

boy, you know you’re gonna drive her wild

Don’t call me honey when your mother’s around

boy, you know you’re gonna weep and wail

Don’t call me honey when your mother’s around

boy, you’re gonna land us both in jail

I’ll never know why she don’t dig me

she says I’m leading a minor to delinquency

Don’t call me honey when your mother’s around

boy, you know you’re gonna drive her wild

now baby stop winking 'cross the supper table

I’m afraid your papa’s gonna see

now baby stop winking 'cross the supper table

I already know you got eyes for me

You know put them up everytime we touch

They just don’t dig that I should love you so much

Don’t call me honey when your mother’s around

boy, you know you’re gonna drive her wild

Remember 97 men in this here town

would give a half a grand in silver just to follow me down

so appreciate a dedicated baby,

'cause boy, you are a lucky man

Boy, you are a lucky man
