When I done quit hollerin' baby, I believe I'll shake 'em on down 

Get my babe, won't be late, You know by that I mean seconds late 

Ah, must I holler, Must I shake 'em on down, 

Well I've been mistreated, babe, I believe I'll shake 'em on down. 

Well I ain't no monkey. I can't climb no tree, 

No brown skin woman gonna make no monkey out of me, 

I ain't no monkey, Sure can't climb no tree, 

I been mistreated babe I believe I'll shake 'em on down, 

Well I've been mistreated babe I believe I'll shake 'em on down.

Put in your nightshirt Mama we gonna shake 'em down 

Must I holler? Must I shake 'em on down? 



Gave my baby a twenty dollar bill, 

If that don't get her, Sure my shot, shot, shot-gun will, 

Yeah, I gave my baby a twenty dollar bill, 

If that don't get that woman, I'm sure my shot-gun will.
