Verse 1
(D major) What you gonna do, Lee Roy?
What you gonna do, Lee Roy?
Well, that woman done told (A major)
me (D major) a bare -faced lie
I keep asking myself, man,
why, why, why?
Well, I (G major) work real hard
and take my money home
I (D major) wake up in the morning,
find my billfold gone
She (G major) broke me daddy, yes, she got me flat
But (D major) what you gonna do
when you (G major) love a (A major) woman like that? (D major)
What you gonna do, Leroy?
What you gonna do, Leroy?
Well, she told me
she was (A major) going (D major) to the grocery store
We got grits in the cupboard,
don't need no more
Yeah, she got (G major) dialed up
and put her perfume on
It's (D major) three in the morning
and that woman ain't home
I (G major) know she's a totem at her grocery sack
So (D major) what you gonna do
when you (G major) love a (A major) woman like that? (D major)
She said I'm going to the country
Spend a week with my mammy
But I believe to my soul
She'd give me a double whammy
I called (G major) her mama, said Luella been there
She said (D major) no Leroy,
ain't seen her nowhere
I (G major) ought to leave her
cause I got all the facts
But (D major) what you gonna do
when you (G major) love a (A major) woman like that (D major)
What you gonna do, Leroy?
Leroy, don't know.
What you gonna do, Leroy?
It leads me, Lieutenant.
