My Babe

Lyrics: Willie Dixon
Music: Willie Dixon

This was only played once by the Grateful Dead, on 8 November 1970.

My babe don't stand no foolin', my babe
My babe don't stand no foolin', my babe
My babe don't stand no foolin', [indecipherable]
My babe, good little baby, my babe

My babe she knows how to love me, my babe
My babe she knows how to love me, my babe
My babe she knows how to love me, she knows how to kiss and hug me
My babe, true little baby, my babe

The Willie Dixon version is:

My babe, she don't stand no cheatin', my babe
My babe, she don't stand no cheatin', my babe
My babe, she don't stand no cheatin'
She don't stand none of that midnight creepin'
My babe, true little baby, my babe

My babe, I know she loves me, my babe
My babe, I know she loves me, my babe
My babe, I know she loves me
She don't do nothing but kiss and hug me
My babe, true little baby is my babe

My babe, she don't stand no cheatin', my babe
My babe, she don't stand no cheatin', my babe
My babe, she don't stand no cheatin'
Everything she do, she do so pleasin'
My babe, true little baby, my babe

My babe, she don't stand no foolin', my babe
My babe, she don't stand no foolin', my babe
My babe, she don't stand no foolin'
When she's hot there ain't no coolin'
My babe, true little baby is my babe
