Woody Guthrie - Bad Repetation Lyrics

Woody Guthrie Lyrics

"Bad Repetation"

I fell in love with the sweetest gal
In all this big wide nation
Her daddy won't let me go with her
'Cause I've got a bad repetation

I can't go with the gal I love
Now ain't that thunderation?
She can't run around with me
On account of my bad repetation

I kissed my gal in the dark last night
I got a sweet sensation
But I can't kiss her in the light
On account of my bad repetation

When I go to see my gal
It's a pretty tough situation
I've gotta crawl in at the winder
'Cause I've got a bad repetation

You can see the trouble I'm in
It's a pretty tough situation
Tryin' to make love to a high class gal
When I've got a bad repetation

I get so [?] tangled up
It's a lot of aggravation
I think someday I'll catch me a train
Leave my bad repetation

It seems like everywhere I go
I get no consolation
Right behind I'll always find
My long-time bad repetation
