Lyrics
I gotta gal who’s always late
Any time we have a date
But I love her, yes, I love her
I’m gonna walk right up to her gate
And see if I can get it straight
‘Cause I want her, I’m gonna ask her
Chorus:
Is you is, or is you ain’t, ma’ baby
The way you’re acting lately makes me doubt
You’se is still my baby, baby
Seems my flame in your heart’s done gone out
A woman is a creature that has always been strange
Just when you’re sure of one
You’ll find she’s gone and made a change
Is you is, or is you ain’t, ma’ baby
Maybe baby’s found somebody new
Or is ma’ baby, still ma’ baby true
