"Caldonia" est une chanson de jump blues, enregistrée pour la première fois en 1945 par Louis Jordan et son Tympany Five. Une version de Erskine Hawkins, également en 1945, a été décrite par le magazine Billboard comme "rock and roll", la première fois que cette phrase était utilisée pour imprimer n’importe quel style de musique.

Walkin with my baby she's got great big feet
Shes long, lean, and lanky and aint had nothing to eat
Shes my baby and I love her just the same
Crazy bout that woman cause Caldonia is her name

Caldonia
What makes your big head so hard?
I love her. I love her just the same
Crazy bout that woman cause Caldonia is her name
You know what mama told me? Mama said son...
Keep away from that woman - she's gonna take all your money
Hey, hey, hey boy... Don't laugh about my mama - you hear that?
Hey man I told you man...
You don't know what you doin boy - don't laugh about my mama
Caldonia
Caldonia
What makes your big head so hard?
I love her. I love her just the same
Crazy bout that woman cause Caldonia is her name
