Odetta - Hogan's Alley Lyrics

Down in hogan's alley live a miss nancy ann
Cussing and a-fighting with her man
Well I thought I heard miss nancy sayin'
Why do you treat your girl that way

When walking down the alley late at night
Nancy and her man had just had a fight
Well he beat miss nancy across the head
When she rose to her feet she said

Slow down alligator
Watch me sooner or later
Gonna catch you with your - down
You throw me round and beat me
Tease me and mistreat me
And still I'm gonna hang around

Take all my money black out both of my eyes
Give it all to another woman come home and tell me lies
Slow down alligator
Watch me sooner or later
Gonna catch you with your - down

Take all my money black out both of my eyes
Give it all to another woman come home and tell me lies
Slow down alligator
Watch me sooner or later
Gonna catch you with your - down
Gonna catch you with your - down
