INTRO

Go ahead, kind lover, go ahead and have your way
Go ahead, kind lover, go ahead and have your way
Now, the life you livin', woman, you'll wring your hands and cry someday

I got a no-good woman, and she don't mean me no good
I got a no-good woman and she don't mean me no good
Well now, the reason I know it, I had to leave the neighborhood

Babe, I would not've been here, feelin' so sad and blue
Babe, I would not've been here, if it had not been for you
Now you got me in Chicago, and that's the way you do

Man, don't love that woman, she won't love you or nobody else
Man, don't love that woman, she love you or nobody else
I'd only blame that poor girl, 'cause she really don't love herself

She's a no-good weed, and the cows won't gnaw her down
She's a no-good weed, and the cows won't gnaw her down
If I was to guarantee, I'd run the poor gal out of town
