| Lord I wish I could die, 'cause my man treats me like a slave |
| Lord I wish I could die, my man treats me like a slave |
| As to why he drives me, I’m sinkin' low, Lord, in my grave |
| He’s a hard drivin' papa, drives me all the time |
| Drives me so hard, I’m 'fraid I’ll lose my mind |
| And when the sun starts sinkin', I start sinkin' into crime |
| Lord, I rise in the mornin', dress when the clock strikes four |
| I’ve a clock on one and scrubbin' somebody’s floor |
| He takes all my money and starts to cry for more |
| I’m goin' to the river, feelin' so sad and blue |
| I’m goin' to the river, feelin' so sad and blue |
| Because I love him, 'cause there’s no-one can beat me like he do |
