Sorrow struck me one morning at the break of day
Sorrow struck me one morning at the break of day
Cause a mean old man come and took my gal away
When I woke up there was nothing to do but rave
When I woke up there was nothing to do but rave
I know she didn't want me all she wanted was a slave
Since my mamas gone I got that aching heart disease
Since my mama's gone I got that aching heart disease
It works just like a cancer
It's gonna kill me by degrees
Never take a woman who is short and thick
Never take a woman who is short and thick
She'll have you hunting lions with a little old walking stick
I wish I her good luck everywhere that she roams
I wish I her good luck everywhere that she roams
I don't know why she left but I know she's never coming home
Honey before I met you I had a new pair of shoes
Before I met you woman I had a brand new pair of shoes
Take a look at me now I've got those barefooted blues
