Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move
Gon' make you sweat, gon' make you groove
Ah-ah, child, way ya shake that thing
Gon' make you burn, gon' make you sting
Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way
Watch your honey drip, can't keep away
Oh yeah, oh yeah, ah, ah, ah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, ah, ah, ah
I gotta roll, can't stand still
Got a flamin' heart, can't get my fill
With eyes that shine, burnin' red
Dreams of you all through my head
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Hey, baby, whoa, baby, my pretty baby
Darlin,' make 'em do it now
Hey baby, oh, my baby, my pretty baby
Move the way you're doin' now
Didn't take too long 'fore I found out
What people mean by down and out
Spent my money, took my car
Started tellin' her friends she gon' be a star
I don't know, but I been told
A big-legged woman ain't got no soul
Oh yeah, oh yeah, ah, ah, ah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, ah, ah, ah
All I ask for, all I pray
Steady rollin' woman gon' come my way
Need a woman gonna hold my hand
Won't tell me no lies, make me a happy man
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Gon' make you sweat, gon' make you groove
Ah-ah, child, way ya shake that thing
Gon' make you burn, gon' make you sting
Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way
Watch your honey drip, can't keep away
Oh yeah, oh yeah, ah, ah, ah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, ah, ah, ah
I gotta roll, can't stand still
Got a flamin' heart, can't get my fill
With eyes that shine, burnin' red
Dreams of you all through my head
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Hey, baby, whoa, baby, my pretty baby
Darlin,' make 'em do it now
Hey baby, oh, my baby, my pretty baby
Move the way you're doin' now
Didn't take too long 'fore I found out
What people mean by down and out
Spent my money, took my car
Started tellin' her friends she gon' be a star
I don't know, but I been told
A big-legged woman ain't got no soul
Oh yeah, oh yeah, ah, ah, ah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, ah, ah, ah
All I ask for, all I pray
Steady rollin' woman gon' come my way
Need a woman gonna hold my hand
Won't tell me no lies, make me a happy man
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah

Black Dog is the pale pirate, missing two fingers, who confronts Billy Bones at the Admiral Benbow Inn. Jim also sees Black Dog talking to Tom Morgan at Long John Silver's bar, the Spy-Glass. Luckily for Long John Silver, he's quick enough to pretend to throw Black Dog out of the bar in outrage for being a pirate, thus soothing Jim's suspicion that Long John Silver might also be an acquaintance of Black Dog.
