Below, you will find the lyrics for Santa Claus by Sonny Boy Williamson II.
My baby went shopping yesterday
Said, 'I'm gonna buy what you need for Santa Claus.'
My baby went shopping yesterday
Said, 'I'm gonna buy what you need for Santa Claus.'
'I'm gonna take mine with me,'
'But I'll leave yours in my dresser drawer.'
So, that started me to rambling
Looking in all of my baby's dresser drawers
Wow, that started me to rambling
Looking all in my baby's dresser drawers
Trying to find out
What did she bought me for Santa Claus
When I pulled out the bottom dresser drawer
The landlady got mad and called the law
When I pulled out the bottom dresser drawer
The landlady got mad and called the law
I was just trying to find
What did she bought me for Santa Claus
The police walked in and jarred me on the shoulder
'What you doing with your hand in that woman's dresser drawer?'
I hand the police a letter my baby wrote me
Showing where I should find my Santa Claus
I just kept on pulling out all of my baby's dresser drawers
I walked out and left the police and the landlady arguing
Said, 'Look at the man done pull out all the lady's dresser drawers.'
Yes, I walked out and left the police and the landlady arguing
Said, 'Look at the man done pull out all the lady's dresser drawers.'
But he said, 'I got the letter and show the judge.'
'The boy just trying to find his Santa Claus.'
