Get Out of Here (Dog Named Bo)

In a little shack down by the bay not far from New Orleans

I met this country girl down there when I was about nineteen

She went and told her daddy, she wants to marry me

And the look on her daddy's face y'all, really was a sight to see, he said

Get out of here with you, don't you come back no more

Get out of here with you, and don't you come back no more

I wanted to meet her Daddy, just like I knew I oughta

But 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 with you, don't you come back no more

Get out of here with you, don't you come back no more

Get out of here with you, don't you come back no more

Get out of here with you, don't you come back no more

Brothers and sisters sicked their dogs on me

Made 'em tear off all my clothes

They were yelling at the dog saying, sick him, sick and go-go

I was running fast, trying to get away y'all, down the railroad track

I could hear the kid throwing rocks at me, every time I stop to look back

Sayin', get out of here with you, 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 walked through the door?

Dad and Mom, big brother John, and the dog named Bo, sayin'

Get out of here with you, don't you come back no more

Get out of here with 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 the nosey folks

Went down to the Chesapeake, as soon as we walked in

There was all of her kin, all her friends, and the doggone dog again

Get out of here with you, don't you come back no more

Get out of here with you, don't you come back no more

Don't you come back, boy

Get out of here with you, don't you come back no more

Don't you come back no more

Get out of here with you, and here's the order

Get out of here with you, don't you come back no more

Get out of here with you, don't you come back no more

Get out of here with you, don't you come back no more

Get out of here with you, don't you come back no more

Get out of here with you, don't you come back no more...
