Bona Fide by Samm Bennett - Polarity Records

Bona Fide

me and my baby single file
gonna walk about a country mile
me and my baby side by side
she’s a red hot mama she's bonafide
she's bona fide, lord
the woman is sure enough bona fide

i took her down to the Tallyho Tavern
i told her all about Carlsbad Cavern
she said you and me let’s go alright
i bought her a ticket that very night
cause she's bona fide, lord
the woman is sure enough bona fide

she left this morning on the nine-o-three
i don’t know why maybe it was me
i’m looking down that railroad track
i swear good lord, i got to get her back, no!

well she fixed my car and she cleaned my pad
bought me a bottle of Old Grandad
made me a bowl of pork and beans
she sewed me a pair of new blue jeans
i swear she's bona fide, lord
the woman is sure enough bona fide

but she left me this morning on that nine-o-three
don’t know why, suppose it was me
looking down that railroad track
i swear good lord i've got to,
i've got to get her back

so, me and my baby single file
we're gonna walk about a country mile
me and my baby side by side
she’s a red hot mama she's bonafide
she's bona fide, lord
the woman is sure enough bona fide
people let me tell you she's bona fide, lord
she's bona fide
mmm mmm
she's bona fide
lord, oh lord she's bona fide
mmm hmmm
