My name is, Washboard Sam
But they call me, Lovin' Joe
Listen to what I says
If you really wants to know

Ooh, baby
Meet me down in lover's lane
I want you to sit an listen
Hoo, girl to my wonderful plan

Now, baby I'm not a bad man
You know we ain't no kin
If you don't wanna be my woman
We will still be friends

Ooh, babe
Meet me down in lover's lane
I want you to sit an listen
Hoo, girl to my wonderful plan

Now, when we are talkin'
I want you to hold my hand
Look me in the eye
I think I can make you understand

Whoa, babe
Meet me down in lover's lane
I want you to sit an listen
Hoo, Lord, to my wonderful plan

'Play it one time, boy, play it one time'

(guitar & instrumental)

I'll ask the ladies in yo' neighborhood
About my plans
And they all will tell you
That Lovin' Sam, is 'The Man'

Ooh, babe
Meet me down in lover's lane
I want you to sit an listen
Hoo, girl, to my wonderful plan
