I don't want no wom'n,
if her hair it ain't no longer 'an mine
I don't want no w'man,
if her hair it ain't no longer 'an mine
Yeah, ya know, she ain't no good for nothin' but trouble, did ya know 'at?
Vets keep ya buyin' rats all the time
Yeah, you know I got on the good side of my woman,
I told her, "Darlin', I's a-comin' to go have some fun"
You know, I went to make her swing out when a rat fell from her head like,
one from a burnin' barn
I just don't want, want no woman,
boy, if her hair it ain't no longer 'an mine
Whoa, ya know she ain't no good for nothin' but trouble
Vets keep ya buyin' rats all the time
Yeah, you know rats and wigs'll get ya killed
Yeah, you know I got on the good side of my woman,
I told her, "Darlin', I's comin' to go have some fun"
You know, I went to make her swing out when a rat fell from her head like,
one from a burnin' barn
I say, I don't want no woman,
boy, if her hair it ain't no longer 'an mine
You know she ain't no good for nothin' but trouble, did ya know 'at?
Vets keep ya buyin' rats all the time

Yes, you know your picture done faded now, baby, darling, you left hanging up on the wall
Yes, you know your picture done faded now, baby, darling, you lea hanging up on the wall
Yes you know it done faded so now, baby, I can't see your face at all
Still, that old clock is ticking, baby, you left hanging on the side
Yes, you know that clock's still ticking, baby, you left hanging on the side
Yes, you know it put my mind on to wondering, make me want to catch some freight train and ride
Yes I would have done caught me a freight train, but there is nary
a one going my way
Yes I would have done caught me a freight train, nary a one is going my way
Yes, but if I don't see you pretty soon, I hope I'll meet you some old rainy day

Oh Lordy Lord, Oh Lordy Lord
Hurts you go bad for us to part
But some day baby, you ain't gonna worry my life any more
She's on my mind, she's on my mind, every place I go
How much I love her nobody knows
But some day baby, you ain't gonna worry my life any more
So many nights, since you been gone,
I been wonderin', how my life goes on
But some day baby, you ain't gonna worry my life any more
And my story, here's all I got to say,
"Goodbye baby, don't care what you do"
But some day baby, you ain't gonna worry my life any more

You know I went down to my baby's house, fell down on my knees,
crying please, please help poor me, help old me
She said, "Lightnin' I wished I was rich and you were poor"
The meals that you've been getting, I will see that you never get them no more
She's talking to me and I'm down on bended knee
Somebody help me, help me, please
You know I went to my house, wasn't nobody there but me
That was trouble, that was worry, Lord, Lord, like the whole world would see
Somebody please help me, I've been wondering about my fate
Her little smiling, baby, I can't see
Well I'm about to make it up in my mind to let her go ahead on
Baby, you go have a good time, while I walk my floor and moan
You may not miss me now, but you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Well I just can't do nothing but cry, I just got to walk my floor and moan

Baby, you mistreated me all the time
Baby, you mistreated me all the time
Yes, you know I hope some day baby,
that you will change your mind
Baby, now what wrong have I done
Baby, now what wrong have I done
You try to mistreat me baby,
when I try to have my fun
Baby, it's all comin' back to you
Baby, it's all comin' back to you
You're gonna be sorry darlin',
that you treat me like you do
Baby, got to go and leave you here
Baby, got to go and leave you here
But maybe some day baby,
you will feel my care

Yeah I'm the wolf and everybody in the world,
Trying to find out who I prowl
I'm the wolf and everybody in the world,
They're trying to find out who I hound
Well you know they can't see me at night,
But they can hear me when I howl
(Howl, wolf... I said howl... Now you're howlin'!...)
I take time when I'm prowlin',
Wipe my tracks out with my tail
(A lot of people wonder why I do this but I wanna tell you)
I take time when I come prowlin',
Wipe my tracks out with my tail
That's in order that no one discover,
Whoa Lord he can't cross my trail
I'm that wolf, dig a hole,
Stick my nose down in the ground (hound)
I'm that wolf, dig a hole,
Stick my nose deep down in the ground
Yeah you know I'll be hiding right at you baby,
You'll think I'm way out on the outskirts of town
(That's that wolf)

I was born'd on the levee, I'm my mama's baby child
Yes, you know, it ain't but one thing I hate, some women have made mama's baby wild
Yes, if I'd have listened, yes, to what my mama said
If I'd have listened, yes, to what my mama said
Yes, you know, I wouldn't be here this evening, I'm talking about, with a hung-down head
Yes, you know, I'm going back home to mama, fall down on my mama's knee
I'm going back home to mama, fall down on my mama's knee
Yes, you know, I'm gonna ask my mama, "Please, ma'am, pray for me"

Yes I said, go bring me my shotgun, go and bring me back some shells
Yes I said go bring me my shotgun, go and bring me back a pocketful of shells
Yes if I don't get some competition, you know there's gonna be trouble here

Yes you know my woman tried to quit me, when I ain't done nothing wrong
She done put me out of doors babe, and I even ain't got no home
I said go, bring me my shotgun, whoa Lord and a pocketful of shells
Yes if I don't get some competition you know there's got to be trouble here

Yes you know my mama told me, the day that I left the door
She says you gonna have bad luck son, and I don't are where you go
I said just bring me my shotgun, boy you can bring just one or two shells
Yes if I don't get some competition, you know there's go to be trouble here

Well I cried bye, bye baby, you know you done me wrong
I'm gonna take my little shotgun now, I'm gonna carry it back home
I said go out in the morning, boy, and carry my shotgun home
Yes I figured the best thing I can do was leave that woman alone

Say it say it say it Tell it like it is
Say it say it say it Tell it like it is

What breaks your heart
What keeps you awake at night
What makes you want to breakdown and cry

But say you'll never turn your back
Say you'll never harden to the world
Say you'll never try to still the rhythms in your breast
Say you'll never look at the evil among us and try to forget
Say you'll tell it like it is

Say it say it say it so everyone can hear
Say it say it say it tell it like it is

What breaks your hear
What keeps you awake at night
How your anger and grief
Make you want to cry out
And tell it like it is

But say you'll never close your eyes
Or pretend that it's a rosy world
Say you'll never try to paint
What is rotten with a sugarcoat
Say you'll talk about the horrors you've seen and the torment you know
And tell it like it is

Say it say it say it
So no one can forget
Say it say it say it Tell it like it is

What breaks your heart
What keeps you awake at night
What makes you want to break the ties that silence and bind
And tell it like it is

Say you'll never cover your ears and close your mouth
And live in a silent world
Say you'll only run as far or as fast as you need to be secure
Say that then you'll tell the truth
When a lie could cross your lips
And tell it like it is

Say it say it say it - Say it say it say it
Say it say it say it - Say it say it say it
Say it say it say it - Say it say it say it
Say it say it say it - Say it say it say it
