Take Me For A Buggy Ride Lyrics - Bessie Smith

You're my man, you're so nice and brown 

Sweetest man in this town 

I heard you say you was goin' away 

And leave me here to stay 

I feel like I could cry 

And here's the reason why 

Daddy, you really know your stuff 

When you take me for a buggy ride 

I like you when you got your habits on 

You can shift your gear with so much pride 

I gets a funny feelin' 

When you gaze into my eyes 

You give me so much thrill 

You make my thermometer rise 

I'm happy when you're by my side 

When you take me for a buggy ride 

Daddy, you're as sweet as you can be 

When you take me for a buggy ride 

When you set me down up on your knee 

And ask me to be your bride 

When you hug and kiss me 

It makes me feel fine 

I gets this funny feelin' 

Up and down my spine 

You don't need no teachin', you don't need no guide 

When you take me for a buggy ride 

Your lovin' ain't so forte in the park 

But you a lovin', poor creature in the dark 

You ain't so hot, what can it be 

That makes me say? "Daddy, take all of me" 

You always ready every time that I call 

What I like about you, you never stall 

You ain't no preacher, you a good old soul 

You done sent salvation to my very soul 

I can't kick but I'm satisfied 

When you take me for a buggy ride
