You Was

If you were to ask me, who the sweetest one I knew was I'd say, "you was" If you were to ask me, who my favorite point of you was I'd say, "you was" When you're not near, my heart is inclined to waste away But when you're here, the funny part is My heart is sterical, lyrical, miracle, all the day If you were to ask me, who the apple of your eye was I'd say, "I was" If you were to ask me who your sweet potato pie was I'd say, "I was" Supposin' you paid a visit to a certain preacher Supposin' you overheard me practicing, I do And you were to ask us, who the bride and groom to be was We'd say, "we was, me and you" If I was to ask you, who the captain of the crew was I'd say, "you was" If I were to ask you, who the oyster in your stew was I'd say, "you was" Got a heart that hollers, when you're not close to me But when you're near it sort of hollers There isn't a lovelier, heaven abovelier, place to be If I were to ask you, who my extra special guy was I'd say, "I was" If I were to ask you, who my rainbow in the sky was I'd say, "I was" Supposin' you heard that I was shopping for a trousseau Supposin' I bought you something old and something new And you were to ask us, who the bride and groom to be was We'd say, "we was, me and you"
