look down the road
‘fer as my eyes could see
hey-hey, yeah
‘fer as my eyes could see
and i couldn’t see nothin’
looked like mine, to me
i don’t want no woman
stay out all night long
yeah, hey-hey-hey
she stay out all night long
i don’t want no woman
don’t know right from wrong
i wouldn’t have a rooster
he won’t crow ‘fore day
yeah, hey-hey-hey
he won’t crow ‘fore day
i wouldn’t have a hen
won’t cackle when she lay
i don’t want no woman
got hair like drops a-rain
hey-hey-hey
got hair like drops a-rain
boy, you know this a shame
it’s a pity an a cryin’ shame
(guitar)
i ain’t gon’ no holler
comin’ the road you’re down’
hey, hey-hey-hey
comin’ on the road you’re down
i’m gon’ stand right here, ’till my
mustache drag the ground
mama, low
papa, saw her and so
hey-hey-hey-hey
papa, saw her an s-
she walk like my baby
but she comin’ too slow
that’s the reason
i look down the road
‘fer as my eyes could see
hey-hey-hey-hey
‘fer as my eyes could –
then i couldn’t see nothin’
looked like mine, to me.
