My right hand is itchin', my left eye begin to burn

My right hand is ithcin', my left eye begin to burn

I know my man don't want me, if by the way he's done



I told her I loved her man, grave will be her restin' place

I told her I loved her man, grave will be her restin' place

She looked at me with burnin' eyes, threw carbolic acid in my face



Carbolic acid has poisoned me, Doc Precious Wynn will tell you so

Carbolic acid has poisoned me, Doc Precious Wynn will tell you so

I got burned about the man I love, now I got to let him go



Layin' in my bed, my face burned to the bone

Layin' in my bed, my face burned to the bone

If carbolic acid don't kill me, penitentiary gonna be my home
