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
