I'm goin' upstairs, and bring down all of my clothes
|
I'm goin' upstairs, and bring down all of my clothes
|
Where I go baby, you will never know
|
|
My mother dead and gone, my father don't want me around
|
My mother dead and gone, my father don't want me around
|
Don't you know baby, I ain't got no place to go
|
|
You know, you know, you don't want me no more
|
(spoken: no you don't)
|
You know, you know, baby you don't want me no more
|
You can love babe, with your younger stud, baby
|
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
|
|
Got a house on the water, you know I don't need no land
|
(spoken: Have mercy on me)
|
Got a house on the water, you know I don't need no land,
|
When I'm dead and gone, bury me in the deep blue sea
|
Hmm-mmm, ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
