Hey, Mama, do you know?
He's got a girl who loves him so
Hey there, Papa, have you heard?
He's got a love fever
So why can't that boy, our boy
Find a true love and have some joy
"Listen to me, sonny," his Daddy said
"If you find a girl, then you'll wish you were dead
'Cause do not think she'll be true to you
That's the worst thing you ever can do"
So why can't that boy, our boy
Find a true love and have some joy
