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.
