You ought a heard my grandmother

When she got my grandfather, told me

You ought a heard my grandmother

When she got my grandfather, told me

She said, 'Get away from me, man

I swear you've done gotten too, old'

Now, when my baby left me

You know she left me with mule to ride

Now when my baby left me

You know she left me with mule to ride

Now, when the train left the station

You know my mule laid down an' died

You know, I sent my baby

You know a brand new twenty dollar bill

You know, I sent my babe

You know a brand new twenty dollar bill

Now if that don't bring her back

I'm doggone sure my shotgun will

(harmonica)

Now, if I can't come in

Let me sit down in front of your do'

Now, I can't come in

Let me sit down in front of your do'

I leave so early in the mornin', you know

Your real man won't never know

(harmonica)

Um-hm, baby

I ain't gonna sing for you no more

Um-hm, baby

You know I ain't gonna sing for you no more

Now, if you been startin' to leave

I swear, I'd just love to see you go.

(harmonica to end)
