"Boogieman"

Little bitty baby
Mom and daddy died
Little bitty baby
Went and crawled outside
Boogieman found her
Took her to the woods
He raised up little baby
He raised her up real good

Now you talk so dirty about the Boogieman
Don't you talk so dirty about him
Yes I hear you talking real dirty now
Don't you talk so dirty about the Boogieman

Baby grew up
The Boogieman grew old
The baby turned a beauty
But no one ever told her
The Boogieman he died
The baby she cried
Baby rolled the Boogieman
Up on his side

Now you talk so dirty about the Boogieman
Don't you talk so dirty about him
Yes I hear you talking real dirty now
Don't you talk so dirty about the Boogieman

Baby rolled the Boogieman
Down to the river
There she rolled him in
Long come serpent Sam
He took the beauty
He took her to the city
There he done her wrong
Oh he done her wrong
Beauty had a baby
She didn't know what to do
She took the little baby
And they went out to the woods
