Now, tell me whose, baby, whose old muddy shoes I see
 They're down at the head of my bed, darling, where my shoes outta be

 My baby and I got along just fine, until she went wrong
 I woke up in the mornin', she had left from home
 Now, tell me whose, baby, whose old muddy shoes I see
 Well, down at the head of my bed, darling, where my shoes outta be

 Her hair was long and curly, and her teeth shine just like pearl
 She wake up in the mornin', she jump just like a squirrel.
 Now, tell me whose, baby, whose old muddy shoes I see
 Well, they're down at the head of my bed, darling, where my shoes outta be

 Now, when I love her in the mornin', she always stay at home
 But, now she's gone and left me, she left me all alone.
 Now, tell me whose, baby, whose old muddy shoes I see
 Well, they down at the head of my bed, where my shoes outta be
