Mmmm, you know Rosie Mae is a good girl
Folks say she don't run around at night
You know Rosie Mae is a good girl
Folks say she don't run around at night
Well, you know you can bet your last dollar
Poor Rosie Mae will treat ya right

Yeah, you know I try to give my woman
Everything in the world she needs
That's why she don't do nothin man
But lay up in the bed and read

You know she walks just like
She got oil wells in her backyard
Why you never hear that woman hootin' and hollerin' and cryin'
No man, a-talkin about these times bein' hard
Yes, Rosie Mae

Yeah, she's a good girl
Yeah, you know I bought her a radio
Even bought her electric fan
She said, "I'm gonna lay here and read
And God, I ain't gonna have no other man"

It made me feel so good
'til I don't know what to do
Yes I said, "Every dollar po' Lightnin make, baby
He gotta bring it back home to you"
