Momma’s gone and I’m alone and I can’t keep the girls away
They call me in the morning and call me at night
And all they want to do play
What can I do I’m asking you please tell me what to say
I’m confused and I got the blues cause I can’t keep the girls away

Girls girls pretty little girls why don’t you leave me alone
I know it’s fun to kiss everyone but I gotta have peace at home
They’re here all the time and I like it just fine
But all they wanna do is play
Momma’s gone and I’m alone and I can’t keep the girls away

Christine Irene Lorene Josephine that’s just the names of a few
I need assistance and I need it fast and I sure need help from you
Now you may think I’m yeller
But I’m just a feller and I’m getting afraid
I think I’ll leave town where I can’t be found
Cause I can’t keep the girls away
