No Swampin'

mama told me all about the blues,
'cause my daddy he wore those blue suede shoes
she said find a man gonna treat you right,
or you will be singing those blues tonight.
She said you're my heart,
my precious daughter
and don't be overwhelmed by water,
find a place and you're home and dry
no swampin' baby, or you'll make me cry.

She said, mm mm no swampin'
you're so much better than that.
She said mm mm let me tell you something,
just find a good man and that is that. (rpt)

We sat on the porch for a little while,
she said find a man who can make you smile,
'cause the water's full of risk and danger,
so take care baby, when you meet a stranger.
Find a man who loves you true,
find one who'll take good care of you,
the one who'll walk an extra country mile,
oh baby, stay away from those crocodiles,
she said mm mm no swampin'
you're so much better than that,
she said mm mm let me tell you something,
find a good man and that is that.(rpt)
she said mm mm
she said mm mm
she said mm mm

she said mm mm no swampin'
she said mm mm
