Well, Miss Magnolia, you just can't keep, keep me to yourself
You know I've been here way too long
You had me working all day long
No, I'm not cut out and I won't be found to make a man for you
No, no

Well, if you see her, make sure you tell, tell her that I'm gone
To find a land beyond where I'll be free
The riverboat and me
A rolling stone, but by and by I'll find my home

I wrote a letter in the mail, it said:
"A steed don't need a mare, dearest Magnolia"
Well, put flowers on the grave and may the headstone read:
"We could get along but we never did belong"

Well, Miss Magnolia, you just can't keep, keep me to yourself

No, I'm not cut out and I won't be found to make a man for you
