Whiskey in the Jar
Guess who just got back today? Those wild-eyed boys that had been away Haven't changed, haven't much to say But man, I still think those cats are great They were asking if you were around How you was, where you could be found I told them you were living downtown Driving all the old men crazy The boys are back in town You know the chick that used to dance a lot Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot I mean she was steaming That night over at Johnny's place Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face Man we just fell about the place If that chick don't want to know, forget her Friday night they'll be dressed to kill Down at Dino's bar and grill The drink will flow and blood will spill If the boys want to fight, you'd better let them That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long It won't be long till summer comes Now that the boys are here again The boys are back in town

One of the black boys said I need none of your pity It's your mama that don't Like you loose in the city But stick about, take note Take a tip, take no back lip Come come a little closer Let me see you snap your fingertip Because standing on the corner Just might suit you or maybe baby There's something else you wanna do Like rolling dice, nice Like shooting pool, hey that's cool I'm a little black boy and I don't know my place I'm just a little black boy, I just threw my ace I'm a little black boy, recognize my face One of the black boys said I'm a giving a warning People been putting me down I'm so tired I'm yawning A new suit, pretty boots to boot And I'm feeling slick Gonna go to town, look around And pull a chick Of course standing on the corner Might suit you or maybe baby There's something else that you wanna do Like playing poker, joker Like to back a race, ace I'm a little black boy and I don't know my proper place I'm a little black boy, get my head in it's space I'm a little black boy, I just play my bass I'm a little black boy, it's no disgrace
