Ry Cooder - Ditty Wah Ditty Lyrics

(Arthur Blake)

There's a great big mistery
And it sure is worrying me
It's a ditty wah ditty
Mister ditty wah ditty
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means

I went out and walked around
Somebody yelled, ";Now who's in town ?";
Mister ditty wah ditty
Mister ditty wah ditty
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means

Some little girl 'bout four-feet-four
Said, ";Come on, papa, and gimme some mo'";
Your ditty wah ditty
Your ditty wah ditty
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means

I went to church, put my hat on the seat
A lady sat on it and said, ";Daddy you sho' is sweet";
Mister ditty wah ditty
Mister ditty wah ditty
I wished somebody would tell me what ditty wah ditty means

I said, ";Sister, I'll soon be gone
Just give me that thing that you're sitting on";
My ditty wah ditty
Mister ditty wah ditty
