The Twelve Year Old Boy

Elmore James

7

I feel bad, I feel terrible, I'm just as sad as I can be

I feel bad, I feel terrible, I'm just as sad as I can be

I let a boy that's twelve years old, take my baby away from me

He used to hang around my grill, until late into the night

He used to hang around my grill, until late into the night

Well I never dreamed that my baby and that boy could be so tight

Well if a young boy hangs around you, you better do what I should have did

Well if a young boy hangs around you, you better do what I should have did

Well you send him over to your neighbors and hope your neighbors like kids
