[Intro 1]
[E]

[Verse 1]
All night and the night [E]befo'
(Don't let it go)
Somebody kept a- knockin'
on the do'
(Don't let it go)
Got up and see what the noise
(Don't let it go)
Spot myself a rowdy young boy
(Don't let it go)

[Verse 2]
Put on my hat, put on my [E]shoes
(Don't let it go)
I ran out the do' to see what
I could do
(Don't let it go)
They were singin' a song
called
(Boo-hoo-hoo)

[Verse 3]
Look out here come the rhythm [E]boys
(Boo-hoo-hoo)
I was out there shakin'
their hands
(Boo-hoo-hoo)
One cat broke out singin',
"I'm A Man"
(Boo-hoo-hoo)
Hold on to what you got
but don't let go
(Don't let it go)

[Verse 4]
Hold on to what you got but don't [E]let
go (yeah, yeah)
(Don't let it go)
Hold on to what you got
but don't let go
(Oh- oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Don't let it go)

[Verse 5]
Hold on to what you got but don't [E]let
go
(Don't let it go)
We've changed the tune and start
singin' a song
(Don't let it go)
(Boo-hoo-hoo)
I like yo' woman ain't gon'
do no harm
(Boo-hoo-hoo)

I said, "Get away beer boy, your mind's messed [E]up"
(Boo-hoo-hoo)
She bring me my coffee in her
favorite cup
(Boo-hoo-hoo)

Hold on to what you got but don't [E]let

[Verse 8]
Goin' start to singin', you're singin' [E]in vain
(Don't let it go)
I like a- yo woman,
it's a cryin' shame
(Don't let it go)
I said, 'No, no, no, that won't work,
here'
(Don't let it go)
You better go back, grow up,
come back next year
