Too Young to Die - John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson

When I first met the lil' girl

I didn’t know what I was doin'

Now we’re all tied up

And my life is ruined!

I’m scared o' that child

I’m scared o' that child

I’m scared o' that child

I’m too young to die!

She’s a cute lil' girl

She got such a wonderful mug

When she starts to talkin'

Her voice busts a stone jug

I’m scared o' that child

I’m scared o' that child

I’m scared o' that child

Because I’m too young to die!

Oh, yeah!

We had a date and I couldn’t make it

That’s what made her mad

Now I’m lookin' at two brown eyes

They turned greenish, grey

I’m scared o' that child

I’m scared o' that child

I’m scared o' that child

Because I’m too young to die!

I called my baby

And I told her I would be late

Time my baby opened the door

I looked in the barrel of a .38

I’m scared o' that child

I’m scared o' that child

I’m scared o' that child

Cause I’m too young to die!
