Santa Claus - John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson

My baby went shoppin' yesterday

Said «I'm gonna buy what you need for Santa Claus»

My baby went shoppin' yesterday

Said «I'm gonna buy what you need for Santa Claus

I’m gonna take mine with me

But I’ll leave yours in my dresser drawer»

So that started me to

Ramblin'

Lookin' in all of my baby’s dresser drawers

Whoa, that started me to ramblin'

Lookin' all in my baby’s dresser drawers

Tryin' to find out

What did she bought me for Santa Claus

When I pulled out the bottom dresser drawer

The landlady got mad and called the law

When I pulled out the bottom dresser drawer

The landlady got mad and called the law

I was just tryin' to find

What did she bought me for Santa Claus

The police walked in and tapped me on the shoulder

«What you doing with your hand in that woman’s dresser drawer?»

I hand the police a letter my baby wrote me

Showin' where I should find my Santa Claus

I just kept on pullin' out all of my baby’s dresser drawers

I walked out and left the police and the landlady arguin'

Said, «Look at the man done pull out all the lady’s dresser drawers»

Yes, I walked out and left the police and the landlady arguin'

Said, «Look at the man done pull out all the lady’s dresser drawers»

But he said, «I got the letter and show the judge

The boy just tryin to find his Santa Claus»

Oh yeah
