Sonny Boy Williamson II - Santa Claus Lyrics

(Sonny Boy Williamson II (Rice Miller))

My baby went shoppin' yesterday,
Said "I'm gonna buy what you need for Santa Claus"
My baby went shoppin' yesterday,
Said "I'm gonna buy what you need for Santa Claus,
I'm gonna take mine with me,
But I'll leave yours in my dresser drawer"

So that started me to ramblin',
Lookin' in all of my baby's dresser drawers
Whoa, that started me to ramblin',
Lookin' all in my baby's dresser drawers
Tryin' to find out,
What did she bought me for Santa Claus

When I pulled out the bottom dresser drawer,
The landlady got mad and called the law
When I pulled out the bottom dresser drawer,
The landlady got mad and called the law
I was just tryin' to find,
What did she bought me for Santa Claus

The police walked in and tapped me on the shoulder,
"What you doing with your hand in that woman's dresser drawer?"
I hand the police a letter my baby wrote me,
Showin' where I should find my Santa Claus
I just kept on pullin' out all of my baby's dresser drawers

I walked out and left the police and the landlady arguin',
Said, "Look at the man done pull out all the lady's dresser drawers"
Yes, I walked out and left the police and the landlady arguin',
Said, "Look at the man done pull out all the lady's dresser drawers"
But he said, "I got the letter and show the judge
The boy just tryin to find his Santa Claus"

Oh yeah
