Ah, tell me darlin'
 Now that it's time for me to go
 Ah, don't you hold me down
 And kill the man you love
 Sweet mama what you gonna do
 Ah, now darlin' what you gonna do
 Mama what you gonna do for love
 Ah, when that sun shines
 Ah, honey
 And I'm living in your love again
 Ah, won't you let me know
 Do I stay or do I go
 Oh, yeah,
 Ah, darlin', what you gonna do now
 I said now mama what you gonna do
 Now mama what you gonna do for love
 When I'm gone
 When I'm gone
 When I'm gone
 When I'm gone
 Ah, when I'm gone
 Gone gone gone gone gone gone
 When I'm gone

 Darlin' so young and tender,
 So quick to surrender
 Everything that you don't own,
 Know that you've got not
 You make love like a skinned cat
 Crawlin' across a highway
 Tryin' to git to the other side,
 Don't know why you just gotta try

 Ah, when that devil
 When that devil gets you honey
 Oh, I want to know
 That's when I'll come home and start to

 Ah, sweet mama what you gonna do
 Ah, sweet mama what you gonna do now
 Aw Daddy what you gonna do for love

 When I'm gone, when I'm gone, when I'm gone, Lord
 When I'm gone, gone, gone, mama, when I'm gone
 When I'm gone, yeah, sweet mama,
 Yes, ah, when I'm gone
 Get that devil get that devil
 Gonna go back home, so long,
 Just want to get some sun on my shoulder
 And get a bit of sand in my shoes
 I love you New York City, but I see that sun shinin'
 And I don't want to stay here no more
 Oh, what you gonna do
 Oh yeah
