Ooh, black Mattie |
|
Where did you sleep last night? |
|
Wit'ch yo hair all tangled |
|
Clothes ain't fittin' you right |
|
Wit'ch yo hair all tangled |
|
Clothes ain't fittin' you right |
|
Now, when I had money |
|
'Hello, sugar pie' |
|
Now done spent all my money |
|
'Goodbye country girl' |
|
Now done spent all my money |
|
'Goodbye country girl' |
|
Lord, my heart drips sorrow |
|
Tears come a-rollin' down |
|
Now you know by that, baby |
|
Baby, to leave yo' town |
|
Now, you know by that, baby |
|
Think now leave yo' town |
|
Now, life ain't worth livin' |
|
If you ain't wit' the one you love |
|
Lord, ain't worth livin' |
|
If you ain't wit' the one you love |
|
Now, life ain't worth livin' |
|
If you ain't wit' the one you love |
|
Now, you three times seven |
|
You know what you wanna do |
|
Now, the day that you quit me |
|
I won't be mad with you |
|
Now, the day that you quit me |
|
I won't be mad with you. |
