Bobby Rush - Get Out of Here (Dog Named Bo) Lyrics

In a little shack down by the bay
Not far from New Orleans
I met this country girl down there
I was about 19
She went and told her Daddy, she want to marry me
And the look on her Daddy's face, really was a sight to see
He said

Get Out of here wit you, and don't you come back no more
Get Out of here wit you, and don't you come back no more

I wanted to meet her Daddy
Just like I knew I oughta
He didn't want no blues singer to marry his daughter
Well I went by his house today
He met me at the door
With his sisters, brothers, and big bad John, and the dog named bo

Get Out of here wit you, and don't you come back no more
Get Out of here wit you, and don't you come back no more
Get Out of here wit you, and don't you come back no more
Get Out of here wit you, and don't you come back no more

Brothers and sisters, stick your dogs on him on top of all my clothes
They were yelling at the dog saying, stick him and go go
I was running fast, trying to get away ya'll
Down the railroad track
I could hear the kid throwing rocks at me, every time I try to look back
Get out of here, don't you come back no more

Go down to get marry, judge says do you solemnly swear
Take this woman for your lovely wife, not a one night love affair
Before I could open my mouth to say I do, guess who opened the door
Dad and Mom, big brother John, and the dog named Bo

Get out of her wit you, don't you come back no more
Get out of her wit you, don't you come back no more

I never wanted to get married, I had to find a way to elope.
We decided to go to Last Vegas, to get away from nosey folks
Went down to the Cheaseapke, as soon as we walked in
There was all of her kin, all her friends, and the dog gone dog again

Get out of her wit you, don't you come back no more
Get out of her wit you, don't you come back no more
Don't you come back
Get out of her wit you, don't you come back no more
Get out of her wit ya, don't you come back no more
Get out of her wit ya, don't you come back no more
Get out of her wit ya, don't you come back no more
Get out of her wit ya, don't you come back no more
Don't you come back
Get out of her wit ya, don't you come back no more
Get out of her wit ya, don't you come back no more
And don't you come back no more, no more
Don't come back no more
Leave town boy
Get out of here
