Ooh black Mattie

Where did you sleep last night

Wit'ch yo hair all tangled

Clothes ain't fittin' you right

Wit'ch yo hair all tangled

Clothes ain't fittin' you right

Now when I had money

'Hello sugar pie'

Now done spent all my money

'Goodbye country girl'

Now done spent all my money

'Goodbye country girl'

Lord my heart drips sorrow

Tears come a-rollin' down

Now you know by that baby

Baby to leave yo' town

Now you know by that baby

Think now leave yo' town

Now life ain't worth livin'

If you ain't wit' the one you love

Lord life ain't worth livin'

If you ain't wit' the one you love

Now life ain't worth livin'

If you ain't wit' the one you love

Now you three times seven

You know what you wanna do

Now the day that you quit me

I won't be mad with you

Now the day that you quit me

I won't be mad with you
