Boodle-De-Bum-Bum - Carolina Chocolate Drops

I went down in the alley

Trying to sell my coal today

I went down in the alley

Trying to sell my coal today

When a woman come out and hollered

Scared my mule away

She had the boodle-de-bum-bum

She had the boodle-de-bum-bum

She had the boodle-de-bum, boodle-de-bum, boodle-de-bum-bum

I went down with that man Jackson

To sell his ice and coal

I went down with that man Jackson

To sell his ice and coal

But he spendin' all his money

Buyin' sweet jelly roll

He had the boodle-de-bum-bum

He had the boodle-de-bum-bum

He had the boodle-de, boodle-de, boodle-de-bum-bum

We went down on 18th and Central

Just two blocks west of State

We went down on 18th and Central

Just two blocks west of State

And when he saw them pretty women

Man, I could not wait

He had the boodle-de-bum-bum

He had the boodle-de-bum-bum

Jackson had the boodle-de-bum, boodle-de-bum, boodle-de-bum-bum

What’d she say?

She said money don’t excite me

And that we all know well

She said money don’t excite me

And that we all know well

Now Jackson pulled out a hundred dollars

Man, she almost fell

She had the boodle-de-bum-bum

She had the boodle-de-bum-bum

Jackson had the boodle-de, boodle-de, boodle-de-bum-bum

Now, they talked like this

Oh no, Jackson, I won’t do it

Well, I did it

Yeah

He got down on all on fours

Boy, she start to run

Oh, Jackson, what you gon do?

He got down on all on fours

Man, she start to run

She had that boy’s big paycheck

Said, «Gals, I had some fun!»

I had the boodle-de-bum-bum

I had the boodle-de-bum-bum

Jackson had the boodle-de-bum, boodle-de-bum, boodle-de-bum-bum
