The 12 Year Old Boy Lyrics - Elmore James

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 that's twelve years old 

Take my baby away from me 

He used to hang around my grill 

Until late into the night 

He used to hang around my grill 

Until late into the night 

Well I never dreamed that my baby 

And that boy could be so tight 

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
