My woman's gone

An I swear she left a lonely home

My woman's gone

An I swear she left a lonely home

Well, I love that woman

But people, she have done me wrong



She left me one old bed

An two old broke down chairs

She left me one old bed

An two old broke down chairs

Well, I miss that woman

From feelin' her coal back curly hair



(Yeah!)

(Blow that thing Gill, blow it!)



Baby, when you's out and havin' your fun

Baby, when you's out, out and havin' your fun

Just remember I'm at home

With my right hand on my gun



(guitars & bass)



'Play it, play it!'



I believe I'll do jes' like Jesse James

I beleive I'll do jes' like Jesse James

I'm gon kill that woman

And then I will change my name.
