Now my road is rocky : but it won't be rocky long
Says I been catching the devil : ever since my good gal 
been gone
Says my mama told me : Lord when I was quite a child
Son you must always remember : Lord that you was born to 
die
Now I got so many wagons : till I done cut that good road 
down
Because the little woman that I been loving : said she do 
not even want me around
Says she won't write me no letter : she won't send me no 
telegram
She just a hard?headed woman : and she don't even give a 
damn
Now I'm going to smoke my reefer : drink my good 
champagne and wine
Say I ain't going to let these hard?headed women : make 
me lose my mind
