Well, my little Red 

She just don't know 

Well-a my little Red 

She just don't know 

Well now, she says she loves me 

She's wild about Mr. So and So 

Well, I ain't gonna worry 

About the way you do 

Well, the way you treat me 

Comin' back home to you 

Well, I ain't gonna worry 

Red, about the way you do now 

(harmonica & instrumental) 

Well, I ain't gonna frown 

I ain't gonna make no noise 

Now, I ain't gonna frown 

I ain't gonna make no noise 

Well, I ain't gonna bring 

You'll have none-a-these Santa toys

Well, I waved my hand 

Red, shook her head 

I waved my hand 

Red, shook her head 

Well, I'm sick an tired of Red 

Gonna go to bed 

Now tell me, Red 

What you want me to do? 

Now look-it-here, Red 

What you want me to do, now? 

Now do you think I can love you 

And be yo' little dog, too now? 

(harmonica & instrumental) 

Well, after a while 

Be all over, now 

Well, after a while 

Be all over, now 

Now because didn't have nobody 

Raise no sand, now how. 

(harmonica & instrumental) 

Well, fare you well 

Well, fare you well 

Red, fare you well 

Now, little girl 

Well now, I thought you loved me 

But I take you for my pal. 

(harmonica & instrumental)
