Be your husband if youll be my wife

Be your husband if youll be my wife

Stick to the promise that you made me

Youve gotta stick to the promise that you made me

Stay away from johnny lee

Oh daddy gotta love me good

Oh daddy gotta love me good

Oh daddy gotta love me good



If you want me to, Ill cook and sew

If you want me to, Ill cook and sew

If you want me to, Ill cook and sew



Dont you treat me so doggone mean

Please dont treat me so doggone mean

Cause youre the meanest man Ive ever seen



Oh daddy love me good yeah

Oh daddy love me good yeah

Oh daddy now love me good

Oh daddy now love me good
