[Intro]

I got a woman in Dallas, got one in San Antone too
I got a woman in Dallas, lived in one in San Antone too
I figure this one in San Antone don’t know what this poor girl in Dallas gonna do.

She got nine gold teeth people, all that wavy hair
That woman got nine gold teeth in, all that wavy hair
And if you ever come to San Antone you’re gonna find my sweet woman there.

I never mistreat my baby, aw when, I do wrong myself
I never mistreat my woman, aw, said I do wrong myself
Aww, if I be mean to my woman, she’ll really quit and take someone else.

Mmm baby aw, don’t you think I know
Mmm baby, baby) don’t you think I know
That a woman c’n make a man love her, people, and shake hands and go.

I went to bed last night and I rolled from side to side
I went to bed last night, listen baby, I rolled from side to side
And I didn’t have no blues really but things wasn’t going on right.

Mmm, babe what’s on your mind?
Mmm, girl what’s on a roll?
Aw will you tell be baby why you wanna shake hands and go.

I want someone to tell me, aw what "Lord have mercy" mean
I want someone to tell me, aw what "Lord have mercy" mean
Who if it means anything, well lord have mercy on me.


I’m going back to Dallas, aw, don’t you want to go?

I say I’m going back to Dallas, baby) don’t you want to go?
Honey, I gonna stop in a town I believe that I have never been before.
