Black gal she took a knife

Scared my brown to death

If I hadn't a had my pistol

Think I would a run myself

Hadn't a had my pistol

Spect I would a run myself

When you see me comin'

Heist your win dow high

When you see me leavin'

Hang your head an cry

When you see me leavin'

Hang your head an cry

Now if I just had a listened

What my mama said

I would a been at home Lord

In my feather bed

I would have been at home Lord

In my feather bed

Got a man a new man

Kid man on your kid

Lord she done got so boogied

Don't try to keep it hid

She done got so boogied

Don't try to keep it hid

Now I got up this morning

Blues all 'round my bed

I turned back my kiver

Blues all in my bed

Turned back my kiver

Blues all in my bed
