People Are Meddling (In Our Affairs) Lyrics

J.B. Lenoir, vocal & guitar; Sunnyland Slim, piano; Alfred Wallace, drums. Chicago, October 22, 1951

Lettie Mae wrote me a letter,
These the last words she had to say,
Lettie Mae wrote me a letter,
These the last words she had to say:
She said, the way you done,
You will be sorry one old day.'

Please don't call me or write me,
I don't wanna hear from you,
Please don't call me or write me,
I don't wanna hear from you;

Darling, I am my own boss,
And I know what I wanna do.

She weighs a hundred and five pounds,
She got long black curly hair,
She weighs a hundred and five pounds,
She got long black curly hair;
Darling, but one thing I hate,
Peoples meddling with our affair.
