Lyrics for Song: I Want A Little Some O' That What You Got (1929)
Lyrics for Album: Complete Recorded Works 1925-32, Vol. 4-(1928-29) [1991]
Mama you been holdin' out, that I plainly see.
I don't know what it's all about, but it's killin' me.
Everything you've asked me for, you've always got it free.
Now you done locked your pocketbook, but papa is got the key.
I want a little some o' that what you got, it's in your pocketbook.
And whether you want me to have it or not, just let me take a look.
You got a little somethin' in there I want, I know it wets the spot.
I'm beggin' you to give me just, a little some o' that what you got.
I want a little some o' that what you got, it's mine the same as yours.
And if I don't get it I will be so hot, I will break down all the doors.
You've got a little somethin' you know I need, don't have to be a lot.
Oh honey, won't you give me just a little some o' that what you got.
I want a little some o' that what you got, I swear I want it bad.
If there ain't no more than a dollar bill, I will be so doggone mad.
You've got a little somethin' I've got to have, and mama you know what.
Oh baby, give your daddy just a little some o' that what you got.
