(Instrumental &harp intro)

I know I had a wondeful time last night

At least so they tell me I did

Know I had a wonderful time last night

So high, I couldn’t hardly keep it hid

Yes, I got somethin’to tell you, baby you can’t do You can’t love me, an some other man, too

'Cause I know I had a wonderful time last night

At least so they tell me I did

I know I had a wonderful time last night

At least so they tell me I did

Know I shouted, 'Hallelujah'last night

I was so high I couldn’t keep it hid

I’m going to buy me a dog, gonna wire his nose

How do you kill a man about my jelly roll?

'Cause I know I had a wonderful time last night

At least so they tell me I did

'Alright, Lacey'

(harmonica and instrumental)

(background female) 'hallelujah'

(background male) 'have some'

'That's what I’m talkin''bout, Lacey'

'Hey now, hey now'

'Do it again, Lacey, do it again'

'Oh man, I know I shouted, 'hallelujah'last night'

I know you had a wonderful time last night

Baby, at least so they tell me you did

I know you had a wonderful time last night

An tell me, you just couldn’t keep it hid

Says, there was two old maids a-layin'in the bed

A-one turned over then other one, says;

'I know we had a wonderful time last night

At least so they tell me we did'

I know ya had a wonderful time last night

At least so they tell me you did

Know you shouted, 'Hallelujah', last night

An you just couldn’t hardly keep it hid

I got a big fat mama, little skinny mama, too

I don’t tell my big fat mama

What my skinny mama can do I know you had a wonderful time last night

At least so they tell me you did.
