I'm goin' to the river folks and take a great big jump

I'm goin' to the river folks and take a great big jump

I used to be a wise man but a woman made me a chump

It sure is funny how hard a man can fall

It sure is funny how hard a man can fall

When he gets to thinkin' one woman has got it all

My baby throwed me out and I started walkin' down the tracks

My baby throwed me out and I started walkin' down the tracks

Then I went home and begged her to take me back

She ain't no good but I can't quit her somehow

She ain't no good but I can't quit her somehow

I used to be a wise cat but this woman has turned me down

She don't act sweet she's the mean and naggin' kind

She don't act sweet she's the mean and naggin' kind

She's got a quiver make a drunk man lose his mind
