Well this barrelhouse woman : what makes you so mean
Well you the meanest old woman : baby that I ever seen

You stay drunk all night : and the whole day long
Sometimes I begin to wonder : what in the world is going on wrong

Now I've told you once : ain't going to tell you no more
Now the next time you get drunk : right out my door you'll go

Now I'm going to get real mean baby : I swear I won't act right
Next time I catch you drunk : baby we going to have a fight

I don't want no barrelhouse woman : messing around with me
If you got to get drunk baby : mama please just let me be
