Okay, Miguel: I got as many of the lyrics as I could from the YouTube  
video, typing along with Jimmy Rogers' singing...but it was well-night  
impossible to hear them clearly from the video.  I found a link to the CD,  and a 
short clip from the song...luckily it had just the line you were having  
difficulty with, so after playing it back at LEAST a dozen times I think I've  
solved it. :)
 
...but would hope anyone else would give it a try too, of course,  
especially if they know these lyrics aren't entirely accurate.  They're the  last 
few words in the brief audio clip for "You're Sweet':

 Here they are as best as I can decipher.

"You're sweet
Yes baby, you're so sweet
You're sweet
Yes baby, you're so sweet
 
The sweetest little thing 
I've ever seen walk the street
 
I love you baby, I love you so much 
 
With your poncho cape on and your
knee length  mini-skirt

But you're sweet
Yes baby you're so sweet
 
The sweetest little thing
I've ever seen walk the street
 
"Look out brother"
 
(harp interlude)
 
You're sweet
Yes baby, you're so sweet
 
You're sweet
Yes baby, you're so sweet
 
The sweetest little thing
I've ever seen walk the street
 
I've taken you home last Saturday night
I'm here to tell you baby you really got me uptight
 
But you're sweet
Yes baby, you're so sweet
 
The sweetest little thing
I've ever seen walk the street
 
"PineTop Perkins!" (on the piano/ interlude)
"That's what I'm talking about"
 
I love you baby
I love you so much
 
With your poncho cape on
and your knee-length miniskirt
But you're sweet
Yeah baby, you're so sweet
 
The sweetest little thing 
I've ever seen walk the street"

Dear Suave Bluesman,

I have this amazing studio  version, with the stunning Kim Wilson. But
I still can't understand some of  the lyrics, here's what I got by now:

You're sweet, yes baby you're so  sweet (x2)
The sweetiest little thing I've never seen walk the  street

I love you babe, I love you so much
With your ??? meanless  miniskirt (?)
You're sweet...

I'd taken you home last Saturday  night
I'm here to tell you babe that you really got me tight (?)
But  you're sweet...

Thanks for your  help!!

Cheers,

M.A.
