Little bitty baby
Mom and daddy died
Little bitty baby
Crawled outside
Boogeyman found her
Took her to the woods
He raised up little baby
He raised up real good
CHORUS:
Now you talk so dirty bout the boogeyman
Don't you talk so dirty bout him
Yes I hear you talking real dirty now
Don't you talk so dirty bout the boogeyman
Baby grew up
The boogeyman grew old
The baby turned a beauty
But no one ever told her
The boogeyman he died
The baby she cried
Baby rolled the boogeyman
Up on his sides
REPEAT CHORUS
Baby rolled the boogeyman
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
REPEAT CHORUS
Now I'm not talking about ?
Talkin' bout a nice old like Mr ?
Funny clumps on his head
And all the children said
Mr ? he's a ? old man
