Lightnin’ Hopkins
Katie Mae (Live at the Fillmore East, New York City, May 15, 1970)
[Intro]
I'm gonna sing a song, "Katie Mae" one time

[Verse 1]
Well, you know Katie Mae is a good girl
Folks say she don't run around at night
Yes, you know Katie Mae is a good girl
Folks say she don't run around at night
Yes, but you can bet your last dollar
Katie Mae will treat you right

[Verse 2]
Yes, you know, some folks say she must be a Cadillac
But I know she's got to be a T-model ford
Yes, you know some folks say she must be a Cadillac
But I say she must be a T-model ford
'Cause you know she got the shape alright
But she can't truck no heavy load

[Verse 3]
I tried to give that woman everything in the world shе needs
That's why she don't do nothin' but lay up in the bed and rеad
And know when she walks through life
She got oil wells in her backyard
Sometime I think she do when you run
Yeah, but you never had a woman hootin', hollerin', and cryin'
Talking about these times being hard
[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
So I say goodbye, goodbye poor Katie, all I got to say
I say goodbye, goodbye poor Katie, last words I got to say
Yes, you know if I don't get next to you tomorrow
I'm gon' ride that freight train early next day

Thank you

Soon as everything is perfectly cool in New York City
