Mr. Freddie's Kokomo Blues
Won't you come on baby come on baby : let's go back to Kokomo
That's a small town in Western Michigan : tell daddy don't you
want to go
Now these women around Chicago is crazy : hollering about the
times so hard
And the women in Kokomo baby : they drinking liquor from real *costly*
bar
Why don't you come on baby come on : and let's go back to Kokomo
Yes I'm leaving here tomorrow morning : tell me baby don't you
want to go
Kokomo's about the best city : I declare that I ever saw
You can break them down both night and day : and won't be
worried and bothered with no law
Now I tell you all about that city : I declare it ain't a great
large town
But everywhere you go in Kokomo baby : you find the women there
breaking them down
Said now Mary had a little lamb : I mean his fleece was white as
snow
Mary take that little lamb with her : to most every place that
she go
She went down to the depot agent : they give her a ticket back
to Kokomo
Depot agent look down at mary's lamb : said Mary I declare your
lamb can't go
She *lied* just come on baby come on : I declare I'm going back
to Kokomo
Why don't you come on baby come on : listen tell me don't you
want to go
I will buy you a ticket baby : only cost us nineteen seventy‑five
When that train leaves tomorrow morning : I want to catch that
morning train and ride
