Elmore James
The 12 Year Old Boy
[Verse 1]
I feel bad, I feel terrible
I'm just as sad as I can be
I feel bad, I feel terrible
I'm just as sad as I can be
I let a boy twelve years old
Take my baby away from me
[Verse 2]
He used to hang around my crib
Until late into the night
He used to hang around my crib
Until late into the night
Well, I never dreamed that my baby
And that boy could be so tight
Alright now
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
Well, if a young boy hangs around you
You better do what I should have did
Well, if a young boy hangs around you
You better do what I should have did
Well you send him over to your neighbors
And hope your neighbors like kids
