My brother took me really soon this mornin',
baby, and he really did throw me down, yeah
My girl took me this mornin', baby,
and it really sure did throw me down
My baby told me last night, baby,
I'm gonna leave this old green man down
I said, oh, don't you go, baby,
cause she sure really worried me
cause she really is one for me
I leave in the mornin' now, sweet mama,
oh baby, I'll bleed to my soul, I'm dyin'
I'll be to my soul, dying
If I ain't dying, I'll blackmail
And I'll be to my, oh my soul,
ain't gonna even tell you no lie
The day you quit me now, little woman, oh, well,
that's the day you're gonna die
Wouldn't mind dying now, baby,
but I got to go by myself, yes, yes
Wouldn't mind dy in' now, baby,
If I don't mind dyin', little woman,
I'm gonna carry me someone else
My baby told me if you don't die easy, baby,
you sure gonna have a dog on
