Listen closely to me now my darlin' girl
There's one who's out to have you
An jus his breath will burn your curls
Don't you fret
You needn't bother
Don't you fret
Here comes the father yet

Whatcha doin' up atop my roof
Creepin' cross them shingles
You 'bout scared me half to death girl
What's your name Ruthie Lingle

Oye I heard your talkin'
That little Jesus geek
Need a good ass good ass clockin'
Oye I seen your mockin'
Don't you dare boy - think my Lord
Hath done forgotten No

I beseech thee Lord clear my head
Before once again I scar the soul of that girl in my bed
O Lord clear my bed
For once again I scar the soul of that girl in my head
