And I holler, "Why?"
And I holler, "Why?"
And I holler, "Why-
The tortoise boy no mon ami?"
And I holler, "Why?"
And I holler, "Why?"
And I holler, "Why-
The tortoise boy no mon ami?"
First he give me one
Then he give me two
And he give me three and I holler
"Lord, he have mercy"
And I holler, "Why?"
And I holler, "Why?"
And I holler, "Why-
The tortoise boy no mon ami?"
First we go in a room
Make me mama no know
Make me lie on a sofa
Make me have-a me labor
And I holler, "Why?"
And I holler, "Why?"
And I holler, "Why-
The tortoise boy no mon ami?"
Give me back me shillin'
Give me back me shillin'
You can stand on your own feet now
Give me back me shillin'
And I holler, "Why?"
And I holler, "Why?"
And I holler, "Why-
The tortoise boy no mon ami?"
Hold me tight, hold me tight
Danger waters comin', baby, hold me tight
Hold me tight, hold me tight
Danger waters comin', baby, hold me
And I holler, "Why?"
And I holler, "Why?"
And I holler, "Why-
The tortoise boy no mon ami?"
And I holler, "Why?"
And I holler, "Why?"
And I holler, "Why-
The tortoise boy no mon ami?"
