Old Original Kokomo Blues Lyrics

Kokomo Arnold Old Original Kokomo Blues

Now one and one is two mama : two and two is four
Mess around here pretty mama : you know we got to go

Crying oh : baby don't you want to go
Back to the *living light* city : to sweet old Kokomo

Now four and one is five mama : five and one is six
You mess around here pretty mama : you going to get me
tricked

Now six and one is seven mama : seven and one is eight
You mess around here pretty mama : you going to make me
late

Says I told you mama : when you first fell across my bed
You been drinking your bad whiskey : and talking all out
your head

I don't drink because I'm dry mama : don't drink because
I'm blue
The reason I drink pretty mama : I can't get along with
you

Now eight and one is nine mama : nine and one is ten
You mess around here pretty mama : I'm going to take you
in

Now ten and one is eleven mama : eleven and one is twelve
You mess around here pretty mama : you going to catch you
a lot of hell
