TAKE ME BACK TO TULSA
Sung by: Unknown

See that girl with the red dress on,
I think her name is Dinah.
She's the gal that stole my heart
Way down in Louisiana.

Chorus: Take me back to Tulsa,
I'm too young to marry.
Take me back to Tulsa,
I'm too young to marry.

This girl rides a Cadillac,
. . . girl rides the train.
My girl rides a humpback mule,
Gets there just the same.

(Chorus)

Big bee sucks the blossom,
Little bee makes the honey.
Nigger picks the cotton,
White man gets the money.

(Chorus)

She went down a new-cut road,
And I went down a lane.
If you get there before I do,
Goodbye, Liza Jane.

(Chorus)
