I'll tell you sweet woman like I tol' my usta be.
I'll tell you sweet woman like I tol' my usta be.
Stay off these whoopee parties and you won't have no trouble out of me.

I'm a hard workin' man, baby and I don't mind tryin'.
I'm a hard workin' man, baby and I don't mind tryin'.
If I catch you makin' whoopee on me, then you don't mind dyin'.

I don't want you for no prisoner, but stay home with me sometime.
I don't want you for no prisoner, but stay home with me sometime.
But when you go out night and day, you got a graveyard on your mind.

I will work in the rain and I'll work in the snow.
I'll work sick or well, I'll work in the rain and snow.
If I catch you makin' whoopee on me, you booked and bound to go.

I man lets you women go out, you never know when to come back home.
When a man lets you women go out, you never know when to come back home.
But when you go out and stay on me, you can bet your time ain't long.

Didn't I tell you next time you stay out all night long?
Didn't I tell you, not to stay out all night long?
Take her heighth and size, undertaker,'cause hell is her bran' new home.
