Meet me around the corner baby : bring my boots and shoes My best woman done quit me : and I ain't got no time to lose Now she low and she squatty : she right down on the ground Every time she wobbles : she make my love came down Lord the woman I'm loving : sleeping in her *ray* Lord the one I hate : I can meet her every day Please : don't give my baby no job She's a married woman : and I don't allow her to work too hard What you going to do : when they take your man to the war Have to drink muddy water : sleep in a hollow log Early one morning : just about the break of day I hugged the pillow : where my baby used to lay She ain't [very] good‑looking : she got two teeth crowned with gold Got a lien on her body : got a mortgage on her soul
