Says I'm going up to town : hat in my hand
Looking for a woman : ain't got no man
Just as well be looking : for a needle in the sand
Looking for a woman : ain't got no man
Says I wouldn't have thought : my baby treat me so
Let another man : stayed at my back door
Mind mama : what you sow
You got to reap : just what you sow
Now if you get you one woman : you better get you two
One for your buddy : other one for you
I's got me a wife : and a sweetheart too
Wife don't love me : my sweetheart do
Cried my gal hollered murder : I ain't raised my hand
Pistol in my pocket : blackjack in my hand
Took my gal : under willow tree
Ought to hear her hollering : don't murder me
