Said I'm leaving in the morning baby

And I don't know which-a way to go

Said I'm leaving in the morning momma

Don't know which-a way to go

Said the woman that I been living with for twenty years momma

Said she don't want me no more

I'd rather see my coffin coming baby

Unloaded at my back door

I'd rather see my coffin coming momma

Unloaded at my back door

Now that good looking women told me to my face

She can't use me no more

I got holes in my pocket baby

Patches on my pants

I got holes in my pocket momma

Patches on my pants

I'm gonna hide in my house and read

Landlord he wants it all in advance

I got grassphoppers in my pillow baby

Got crickets all in my meal

I got grassphoppers in my pillow momma

Got crickets all in my meal

I got tacks in shoes baby

And their sticking in my heels
