“Way Down South” lyrics

“Way Down South” (Lester Butler), from “13 featuring Lester Butler”

Baby you hot and I just can’t stand it
I got the high temperature
Baby you hot and i just can’t stand it
I got the high temperature
Love like a drug and it give me fever
Mama there ain’t no cure

Baby come from way down south
Way on down behind the sun
Baby come from way down south
Way on down behind the sun
You look so good that I gotta be a man
Baby got to have your fun

(guitar solo)

Oh yeah, way on down in New Orleans
Yeah baby, way on down in New Orleans
You look so good that I just can’t stand it
I got a trick that’s gonna make you scream

(harp solo)

  1. There was a recording of “Way Down South” that Lester had on a cassette tape in late 1995 that began with the lyrics “Just got back with little Michele, and it made me feel alright, Just got back with little Michele, and it made me feel alright, My mama told me it was wrong, little Michele made it feel alright.”
