Well babe, here I am
|
Babe, I'm all alone by myself
|
Well babe, here I am
|
Mama, I'm all alone by myself
|
Way my sweet woman have treat me
|
I better guess she's gone with somebody else
|
|
Well, well, my little woman
|
She said nobody flagged no trains
|
Hoo-hoo-mm
|
And I do think there's a special train
|
Well, she will tell you, 'Go get yo' mail on Friday
|
I've gone and got my man'
|
|
Well-well babe, yo' best friend
|
Is not gon' break up yo' happy home
|
Yoo-hoo-mm, yo' best friends
|
Are not gon' break up yo' happy home
|
Well, once you've mistreated, my little baby
|
Hoo-hoo, oh never tell, yo' daddy's gone
|
|
Well, now my mama she told me
|
When I was a child
|
Woo-hoo, mama now she told me
|
When I was a child
|
She said, 'Son, now you's too big a devil
|
Allowed to be so foolish and wild'
|
|
Too late, too late, too late
|
Mama, now you drove me from yo' do'
|
Woo-hoo-mm
|
Babe, now you drove me from yo' do'
|
Well, that night that you did not want me, mama
|
Afraid baby, I cain't use you no mo'.
