Met a pretty little girl walkin' down the avenue
I met a pretty little girl walkin' down the avenue
I said: "Hello, honey, can I, Sonny Terry, go home with you?"

She said: "Yes, Sonny, we'll rock the house tonight"
She said: "Yes, Sonny, we'll rock the house tonight
You gotta give me pretty lovin' everything will be alright"

Hooray, hooray, these women is killin' me
Hooray, hooray, these women is killin' me
If you don't believe me just stop right here and see

Well, we sung after midnight and rocked 'till the break of dawn
Well, we sung after midnight, rocked 'till the break of dawn
Honey, you can't get cold 'cause old Sonny gonna keep you warm

A-hooray, hooray, these women is killin' me
A-hooray, hooray, these women is killin' me
If you don't believe me just stop right here and see

Well, you know people we had done danced all night 'till about
5 o'clock in the morning, you know we done rocked all night
Good God almighty about it, got 5 o'clock the girl I know that
she gettin' a little tired, I think this is what I told her

"Honey, it's 5 o'clock now what you wanna do?"
"Honey, it's 5 o'clock now what you wanna do?"
This what she said, she said: "I don't care if it aches, Sonny, I leave it up to you"

It made me feel good, an' this what I told that woman:
"I'm gonna lock this door, I'm gonna throw this key away"
"I'm gonna lock this door, I'm gonna throw this key away,
well, I ain't goin' home I stay right here all day"
