Lyrics
Easy Mae
(Intro)
I. You know I ain't gon' respect you.
You on th' wrong side a town. Whoa, yeah.
Ain't gon' treat you nicely.
Eb'body pass you 'round. Eb'body pass you 'round. Eb'body pass you 'round.
(Chorus)
They tol' me you is easy.
Tol' me yo' name is Easy Mae.
Easy Mae, 'mon over here, 'mon over here, Easy Mae.
Easy Mae, 'mon over here, 'mon over here, Easy Mae.
(Turnaround)
II. Got a Coke machine on yo' front porch.

Keep 'em comin' through th' door. Keep 'em comin' through th' door. Keep 'em comin' through th' door.
(Turnaround)

She stay or run away? She stay or run away? She stay or run away?

Shoot th' shit, comin' an' goin'.
Hurry, Mae, my lady waits. Hurry, Mae, my lady waits. Hurry, Mae, my lady waits.

They tol' me you is easy.
