Заимствование
The lyrics to this song also draw on bluesman Bukka White's "Shake 'Em On Down." Other reference points that Dave Lewis cites are Sonny Boy Fuller's "Custard Pie Blues," Blind Boy Fuller's "I Want Some Of Your Custard Pie," and Big Joe William's "Drop Down Daddy," which was the most important of these three. However, the earliest source for this seems to be Sleepy John Estes song "Drop Down Daddy" in 1935, which preceeds Blind Boy Fuller by five years. Sonny Terry covered it with the title "Custard Pie Blues."

Текст

Drop down, baby, let your daddy see.
Drop down, mama, just dream of me
Well, my mama allow me to fool around all night long
Well, I may look like I'm crazy, I should know right from wrong
See me comin', throw your man out the door
Ain't no stranger, been this way before
See me comin', mama, throw your man out the door
I ain't no stranger, I been this way before.

Put on your night shirt and your morning gown
You know by night I'm gonna shake 'em down
Put on your night shirtMama, and your morning gown
Well, you know by night I'm gonna shake 'em down
Your custard pie, yeah, sweet and nice
When you cut it, mama, save me a slice
Your custard pie, I declare, it's sweet and nice
I Like your custard pie
When you cut it, mama… mama, please save me a slice.

Save me a slice of your custard pie.
Drop down
