Look down the road |
'Fer as my eyes could see |
Hey-hey, yeah |
'Fer as my eyes could see |
And I couldn’t see nothin' |
Looked like mine, to me |
I don’t want no woman |
Stay out all night long |
Yeah, hey-hey-hey |
She stay out all night long |
I don’t want no woman |
Don’t know right from wrong |
I wouldn’t have a rooster |
He won’t crow 'fore day |
Yeah, hey-hey-hey |
He won’t crow 'fore day |
I wouldn’t have a hen |
Won’t cackle when she lay |
I don’t want no woman |
Got hair like drops a-rain |
Hey-hey-hey |
Got hair like drops a-rain |
Boy, you know this a shame |
It’s a pity an a cryin' shame |
(guitar) |
I ain’t gon' no holler |
Comin' the road you’re down' |
Hey, hey-hey-hey |
Comin' on the road you’re down |
I’m gon' stand right here, 'till my |
Mustache drag the ground |
Mama, low |
Papa, saw her and so |
Hey-hey-hey-hey |
Papa, saw her an s- |
She walk like my baby |
But she comin' too slow |
That’s the reason |
I look down the road |
'Fer as my eyes could see |
Hey-hey-hey-hey |
'Fer as my eyes could — |
Then I couldn’t see nothin' |
Looked like mine, to me |
