Tiger Rose got new clothes
The ladies love her so
They laugh at her connections
But they don't say noGet down high, get down low
Get your heels in tow
We don't care what
Mama don't allow here anymoreTiger tea, tiger gee, you my Tiger Rose
Gently roll me, honey, while I sing your song
On the bank where children play 'ring a levio'
Come on and show me somethin' I don't knowThere's the day breaking
Windows shaking at my cabin door
Love me like you did last night
Just one time moreI know it don't make sense
But then it don't intend
You keep coming by
We'll make it up againGet up, Johnny, sing along
Get along now, get along
I could be right, I could be wrong
Pretty soon be long goneLay me down in worried sleep
Listen while the river weep
Thought I heard it sing a song
Delta Queen done come and goneTiger tea, tiger gee, you my Tiger Rose
Gently roll me, honey, while I sing your song
On the bank where children play 'ring a levio'
Come on and show me somethin' I don't knowCome on, big eyed handsome moll
And be my party doll
We'll live in jive o county
'Neath the waterfallIf people say, "What can you play?
Just tell 'em, "Anything"
Cut glass spur or a silver chime
Can make 'em ringTiger Rose, heaven knows
I just love you so
Maybe that's the reason
That you don't say noYou get high, get down low
You my rodeo
We don't give a damn
What Mama don't allow here anymoreTiger tea, tiger gee, you my Tiger Rose
Gently roll me, honey, while I sing your song
On the bank where children play 'ring a levio'
Come on and show me somethin' I don't knowOn the bank where children play 'ring a levio'
Come on and show me somethin'
Come on and show me somethin'
Come on and show me somethin' I don't know
