Yes, I'll work for you, baby

I'll treat you like a baby child

Says, I will work for you, baby

Treat you like a baby child

Well, you're laughin' at me now, mama

You'll be cryin' after while



Says, I'll give you my money

You treat me like a tramp

I've got holes in my shoes

An my feet is getting damp

Oh babe

You oughtn't be so doggone wild

Well, you're laughin' at me now, mama

You'll be cryin' after while



(harmonica & instrumental)



Say, you three times seven

An you knows what you wanna do

Sometime you gonna think about

The good things I used to do

You laughed an laughed

Until you put my clothes in a pile

Well, you're laughin' at me now, mama

You'll be cryin' after awhile



Said I tried so hard

To get along with you

But somehow I couldn't please you

No way I do

You laughed an said

Honey, that I was drivin' you wild

Well, you're laughin' at me now, mama

You'll be cryin' after awhile.
