Lyrics
Miss Sofrane Sarah Brown
Was the most classable gal in town
She met hon’rable Rufus Hall
Dancin’ at the Wang, Wang Ball
He took her home that night
She gave him a kiss
But when he went too far
She up and told him this
Chorus
Don’t mess with me
Don’t mess with me
You work fast that’s very true
You’re in the right church
But in the wrong pew
Don’t mess with me
You better run along and let me be
I got a razor that’s got a nasty blade
Just pass on circus, I seen you parade
‘Cause I done pick’d the ground
Where your body’s gonna be laid
Don’t mess with me
Chorus
Don’t mess with me
Don’t mess with me
We went riding all alone
Now you’ll be sorry, you made me walk home
Don’t mess with me
You better run along and let me be
If I land on you, oh! Lawd
Next time people talk to you
It’ll be thru a weejee board
I gonna cut you down with my little sword
Don’t mess with me
