If you lose your money, don't lose your mind

If you lose your money, don't lose your mind

And if you lose your sweet woman, well brother you better not mess with mine



If you ever been down, I know you know just how I feel

If you ever been down, you know just how I feel

Why I feel just like a dyin' soldier, across the battlefield



Baby I'm goin' out west, and don't wanna leave you behind

I'm goin' out west, and I don't wanna leave you behind

Because I'm afraid that when I return baby, I'm afraid that you won't be mine



(spoken:)

Aw shucks - you know what I'm talkin' about

Then how do you think I feel to go away and come back

And find you in another guy's arms

I take a brickbat and break your neck

And I don't mean maybe neither



What's the use of walkin', for when there's a freight train goin' your way

What's the use of walkin', and there's a freight train goin' your way

(I heard the train blow)

If my mind don't chage, I'm western bound today



Put your arms around me baby, just like a circle around the sun

Put your arms around me baby, like a circle around the sun

That's the way baby, Papa Red wants his lovin' done

(You hear me talkin', and I don't mean maybe, that's all)
