I don't need nothing but my overalls
I done trimmed these women and they bound to fall
Your time to worry, my time to live alone
But your reckless disposition, Mama, drove your daddy way from home

I don't want no woman, goin' to run around
And drink her whiskey, act like a fanfoot clown
Your time to worry, my time to live alone
Your reckless disposition, baby, drove a good man away from home

I don't want no woman with face like a natural man
When she come to your home there'll be trouble in the land
But let it be her time to worry, my time to live alone
Your reckless disposition drove your daddy way from home

Now woman if I had your heart in my hand
I would teach you exactly how to treat a real good man
Because it's your time to worry, my time to live alone
Your reckless disposition drove a good man way from home

I tried to treat you good, tried to treat you right
But you stayed off me woman both day and night
Now it's your time to worry, my time to live alone
Your reckless disposition, honey, drove a good man way from home

Now it's a mighty sad story, misunderstood
Everybody in Atlanta, in my neighborhood
Say it's your time to worry, my time to live alone
Your reckless disposition drove a good man way from home
