I'm going to leave you, I'll be back some old day
I'm going to leave you, I'll be back some old day
Don't you worry, mama, because I was carried away
4-BAR SOLO
Don't never take no woman for to be your friend
Don't never take no woman for to be your friend
It will be death, all in destruction, graveyard'll be your end
I was just sitting here a-wond'ring, mama, about my used-to-be
I was sitting here a-wond'ring, worried about my used-to-be
I can see my lover, Lord, but she can't see me
How can I love you when you gone both night and day?
How can I love you, you're gone both night and day?
Say, that's the very reason I'm bound in jail today
