Joe (Pleasant Joseph)1946Key of B flat
Little Eva, Little Eva, don't you hear me callin' you?
Little Eva, Little Eva, don't you hear me callin' you?
I know you're three times seven, you should know what you want to do
Don't ever let me catch you, givin' away my jelly roll
Don't ever let me catch you, Baby, givin' away my jelly roll
If you do just ask the good Lord to have mercy on your soul
I'm gonna ring up Mr. Geddes, I'm gonna wire Mr. Moss
I'm gonna ask them undertakers how much your funeral costs
Little Eva, Little Eva, don't you hear me callin' you?
I know you're three times seven, you should know what you want to do
I don't drink Mr. Charlie's whiskey, I don't need Mr. Walker's tea
But when I'm next to you, baby, I'm just as high as I can be, Yeah
Little Eva, Little Eva, don't you hear me callin' you?
I know you're three times seven, you should know what you want to do
I followed you around from town to town
I found you in Louisiana, barefoot[?] and [ sittin'] on the ground
Little Eva, Little Eva, don't you hear me callin' you?
I'm also three times seven, and I know what I want to do
