Lyrics

Well you know katie mae is a good girl
Folks say she don't run around at night
Well you know katie mae is a good girl
I made a mistake she don't run around at night
Well you know katie mae's a good girl, folks say she don't run around at night
Yes, you can bet your last dollar katie mae will treat you right

Well some folks say she must be a cadillac
But I say she got to be a t-model ford
Well some folks say she must be a cadillac
I say she got to be a t-model ford
Yes she got the shape all right, but she can't carry no heavy load

And she walks just like
Her daddy got oil wells in her backyard
You know she walks just like
She got oil wells in her backyard
You know every time she got to working
That woman she never has to work too hard

I said bye-bye poor katie mae
These are the last words I got to say
And now, now, now, poor katie
Last words I got to say
Cause if I don't meet you tomorrow
I'll get you early in the next day
