Lyrics
- Has anybody seen my man
He went away this very day
Has anybody seen my loving boy
I’ve got to find my pride and joy
Won’t ev’rybody look around
He must be found, he’s on the ground
Oh there he is, that’s him I know
Oh Lawdy see him go, Oh Mister
Chorus
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop that man
Don’t you let him get away
He’s the very one I’m looking for
And I will get him, get him
You bet your life I’ll get him
He’s a bold, bad burglar man
Lock him up, lock him up, if you can
Stop that man right on the spot
Mister, make him give me something that he’s got
Cause he’s a thief, thief
Stop, thief, you stole my heart away
- Take him to the station now
And teach him how to keep his vow
Come on and lead him to the County jail
And I’ll come round and go his bail
There’s someone coming down the street
I hear some feet, I think I’m beat
I know that noise, that broken chain
Good Lawd he’s gone again, Oh Mister
