Now I got a gal that's sweet to me,

But she just ain't what she used to be
        C                                   G
Just a little high headed; That's plain to see.
                       D       C                      G
Don't get above your raisin' Stay down to earth with me.

For I ain't forgot how you used to be

When you didn't have nothin' That was plain to see.
