Ooh well now they call my baby Patty,
But her real name, her real name, her real name is Linda Lou.
Well they call my baby Betty,
But her real name, her real name, her real name is Linda Lou.
She's so fine, fair and pretty, you don't know what my baby's gonna do, my Linda Lou.

When she goes strollin' down the street,
All the cats, all the cats, all the cats turn and look around.
Well now she give everybody the eye,
You never know, you never know, you never know what my baby's gonna put down.
Everybody always tells me I got the cutest little girl in town.

I'm gonna marry that girl next Saturday night,
Make her mine for the rest of my life,
From now on my rovin' days are through,
And it's all because of that chick, Linda Lou.

Linda Lou, Linda Lou,
Tell me what are you gonna do?
I had a real bad dream last night,
Honey you said, you said, you said, you said that we were through.
Well now if you ever leave, you're gonna break my poor heart in two, my Linda Lou.
Yeah.
