Oh Babe

Cannonball Adderley, Nat Adderley

[Intro: Cannonball Adderley]
Yeah, we have finally arrived at the blues
And we've been waitin' a long time to get to it, ha, you know what I mean? Look—ha
Anyhow, if you're ready, we're ready to present to you the blues
By an articulate spokesman for the whole medium
So get ready, y'all, check it out

[Verse 1: Nat Adderley]
Well, I wanna warn you, baby
I got the sweet love on my mind, oh babe
I wanna warn you, baby
I got the sweet love on my mind, oh babe
But I keep beggin' for watermelon
But all I get is watermelon rind, oh babe

[Verse 2: Nat Adderley]
Wеll, I'm goin' back to black bottom, baby
Down where the sun don't shinе, oh babe
Goin' back to black bottom, baby
Down where the sun don't shine, oh babe
When I find my lovin' baby
Gonna soothe my worried mind, oh babe

[Verse 3: Nat Adderley]
Got it made down, yeah, yeah
Lost my baby my way, Lord, oh babe
Got it made down, yeah
Losin' my baby my way, Lord, oh babe
Just keep a-knockin'
Keep workin' on the dub, yeah right, woah, woah, woah babe

[Verse 4: Nat Adderley]
Well, just a maid, just a maid
Get your big legs off of me now, oh babe
Well, just a maid, just a maid
Get your big legs off of me now, oh babe
I might chuck you in the ocean
And pound you in the deep blue sea, please my babe

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5: Nat Adderley]
Well, it's been a long time comin'
And I ain't got nothin' yet, oh babe
But I stick to my motto
What you see is what you get, oh babe
Well, I might find myself a new love
'Cause now, oh—one more time, hey love
Lose my life, left my babe, got my laws, I'm standin' round
Don't let nobody get my sucker, I'll beat 'em
Baby, please, take my love down
Don't let my love go bad now
Woah-ooh, ooh
Ahh, Lord, Lord, Lord, my baby, um-ooh

[Interlude: Nat Adderley]
Lord, love my baby, say my love go down, uh, ah-mmm
Leave my baby, cry low down under, ah-mmm
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah

[Outro: Nat Adderley & Cannonball Adderley]
Ah-mmm, no, no
Oh, ho, ha, ha-oh
Oh, oh, ho
I want my freedom, Lord, Lord, want my freedom, babe
Uh-huh, want a free down, Lord, now Lord, I want my freedom now, Lord
I wanna love everybody, I wanna love everybody
I want my freedom, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, hoo, mm-hmm
Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho
Woah, woah, babe, woah, woah, babe
Ohh, hey!
Thank you
