One Morning

歌詞

I went on a spree I went to see Dorothy I met in a collision Was me an' a policeman 'Fore day mornin', one mornin', one mornin' I knock the door without any fear I said "Dorothy, darling, are you here?" But I put myself in a calaloo The police was knocking the back door too 'Fore day mornin', one mornin', one mornin' I even called her by her sweet name, Dee I said "Mommy, open de door for me" And, when I peep through the jalousie I saw the craf was awaitin' me 'Fore day mornin', one mornin', one mornin' She got right up an' she turn de lock But at de back door was a different knock In walk up the branch of the law, an' told me "Mister, what you come for?" 'Fore day mornin', one mornin', one mornin' I said, "I came here to cut my shine" Said, "But you come here for what is mine" I had to appeal to sweet Dorothy She said, "Tonight, let us sleep in peace" 'Fore day mornin', one mornin', one mornin' I said, "My boy, don't you contemplate For Dorothy is a heavyweight And if you are strong you can win de fight But I'm going to box like Dempsey tonight" 'Fore day mornin', one mornin', one mornin' The night was so cold I couldn't even sleep Under the blanket I had to creep I stole a chance and I cuff de craf An' de policeman shout out, "Beginner half!" 'Fore day mornin', one mornin', roll if you're rollin' I went in a dream at de middle of the night As if something was holdin' me tight I got up an' I make her with a caress And I found my head on the police chest
