I'm Saving It All For You
I heard a gal named Ruby Roan
Talkin' on the telephone
To her lovin' man who'd been away
From her just a week today;
She said, "You'd better hurry home
'Cause your mama's all alone;
She's got to have some lovin', daddy dear
Let me whisper in your ear!"
Papa, if you want it, you'd better come and get it
'Cause I'm savin' it all for you
If you do, sweet papa, you surely won't regret it
I love you truly, 'deed I do!
Sweet mama's got, just what you need
It ain't a lot, but it's guaranteed!
So, Papa, if you want it, you'd better come and get it
'Cause I'm savin' it all for you
Papa, if you want it, you'd better hurry and get it
'Cause I'm savin' it all for you
If you do, sweet papa, you surely won't regret it
I love you truly, 'deed I do!
Good jellyroll is what I've got
It might get cold, so get it while it's hot
To love me, hon, is quite all right
I'm all alone, I've nothin' on for tonight
I'm full of vim as a cat's meow
It's too bad, Jim, if you can please me now
So, Papa, if you want it, hurry up and get it
'Cause I'm tryin' to save it all for you
