I've got a begging woman

She is always begging me

That woman a living beg

A possum out of a tree

You know she's a begging woman

And I can see it in her eyes

She's got a handful of gimme

Though in a mouthful of much obliged

She begs in the mornings

And she sleeps all the afternoons

And she stays up all night long

To beg the man in the moon

You know she's a begging woman

And I can see it in her eyes

She's got a handful of gimme

Though in a mouthful of much obliged

She'll beg the plant out of your plantation

She'll beg New York to a flag station

She'll even hang around

To beg the United Nations

You know she's a begging woman

And I can see it in her eyes

She's got a handful of gimme

And a mouthful of much obliged

Oh yeah
