Lyrics
- Read my mind and you’ll find
What the doctor don’t see
I ain’t sick, ain’t been kicked by a mule
Can’t you guess
Happiness paid a visit to me
Mona Brown came to town
And landed right on my knee
Chorus
Mona, I’ve got the spot for Mona
It’s down around my heart somewhere
I’m slidin’, no use in hidin’
Brother I’m ridin’ on air
Mona, can’t stay away from Mona
I’m just a bust when I’m alone
O how she thrills me, she kills me
I’m bound all around
With a brown skin Honey
Oh, Oh, Mona, my own
- I’m upset, since I’ve met
Some one precious to me
Did I fall? That’s not all that I did
Lucky me, happy gee
I’ve good reason to be
Is she sweet? can’t be beat
And some baby believe me
