| How far to the river, mama, walk down by the sea |
| How far to the river, walk down by the sea |
| I got those tadpoles and minnows all in over me |
| Standing here wonderin' will a matchbox hold my clothes |
| I’se sittin here wonderin' will a matchbox hold my clothes |
| I ain’t got so many matches but I got so far to go |
| Lord, Lord, who may your manager be? |
| Hey, mama, who may your manager be? |
| Reason I ask so many questions, can’t you make friends match for me? |
| I got a girl cross town she crochet all the time (or is it «coochies» |
| as in hoochi-coochie?) |
| I got a girl cross town crochet all the time |
| Mama if you don’t quit crochet-in you gunna lose your mind |
| I wouldn’y mind marryin', but I can’t stand settlin' down |
| I Don’t mind marryin', but Lord, settlin' down |
| I’m gonna act like a preacher so I can ride from town to town |
| Well, I’m leavin' town, but that won’t make me stay |
| I leavin' town, cryin' won’t make me stay |
| Baby, the more you cry, the farther you drive me away |
