Lyrics: Koko Taylor. Ernestine.

Ernestine, you'd better leave my man alone
Ernestine, because of you I can't go on
I told you for the last time to find you a man of you own

Ernestine, what you doing, you know it ain't right
Ernestine, when you play, it make me wanna fight
Girl, you playin' with danger and girl, this might take, it might

I warned you once, girl, without a doubt
Two strikes you lose, third strike you're out
Like a baseball game, you're dancin' with a slugger
I hit a grand slam 'cause I'm a bad [Incomprehensible]

Ernestine, you'd better leave my man alone
I told you for the last time to find you a man of your own

Ernestine, you playin' with fire, you know you'll burn
Ernestine, I know where you come from
You refuse to listen but you ain't in the right school to learn

I warned you once, girl, without a doubt
Two strikes you lose and third strike you're out
Like a baseball game, you're dancin' with a slugger
I hit a grand slam 'cause I'm a bad [Incomprehensible]

Ernestine, you'd better leave my man alone
I told you for the last time to find you a man of your own

Koko Taylor
