Big Butter and Egg Man from the West - Louis Amstrong And His Hot Five

Written by：Percy Venable

I want a butter and egg man

Away out in the west

'Cause I'm getting tired of working all day

I want somebody who wants to me to play

Pretty clothes have never been mine

But if my dreams come true some sun's gonna shine

'Cause I want a butter and egg man

Won't some great big butter and egg man want me

Yeah here now momma I'm you big butter and egg man

But I'm different honey

But I'm from way down in the south

Now listen baby I'll buy you

All the pretty things

That you think you need

And as long as I can keep this cornet up

To my mouth

Oh I'll play you a little minor in G

And if you say it's necessary baby

Why I'll even hit high C

Oh 'cause I'm your big butter and egg man

Come here baby kiss me

Big butter and egg man from way down south

Pretty clothes have never been mine

But if my dreams come true some sun's gonna shine
