Good Morning Little Schoolgirl

can I go home with you?
Tell your mama and your daddy,
that I'm a little schoolboy too
Baby I love you,
I just can't help help myself
You're so good looking pretty babe,
I don't need nobody else.
Good morning little schoolgirl,
can I go home with you?
Uh, Uh, Uh
I'm gonna leave you baby,
about the break of day
On account of the way you treat me,
I've got to stay away
A good morning little schoolgirl,
can I go home with you?
Tell your mama and your daddy,
that I'm a little schoolboy too
Come on pretty baby,
oh you know I can't help myself
Uh, Uh, Uh
I'm gonna buy me an aeroplane,
to fly all over your town.
And tell everybody baby,
Lord knows you've been putting me down.
I can't stand it babe,
just cannot help myself
You're so young and pretty,
but you're lovin' somebody else
A good morning little schoolgirl,
can I go home with you?
Uh, uh, uh
Oh babe what you do to me,
I can't help myself
Good Morning Little Schoolgirl

The song reflects the genre's deep roots in the Mississippi Delta, blending traditional folk themes with the emerging sound of urban blues. As a staple of Williamson's discography, it exemplifies the transition from acoustic to electric instrumentation that defined the mid-century shift in blues music. The recording remains a vital document of the style, offering listeners an authentic glimpse into the musical landscape of the time through its driving rhythm and evocative storytelling.
