Four in the morning and the water is pouring down
Stove don't work and my baby has just, just left town
I'm lying on my back cause there just ain't nothing to drink, no!
Empty bottles on the floor, dirty dishes in, in the sink
Watching the cockroach crawling in an old bean can
Yes I am!
He said: When your baby left you, I bet it's tough to be a man
Yeah, tough to be a man, baby!
Tough to be a man

Saw her again and she took back all she said, yes she did
It don't make no difference now cause I shot her, yes
She's dead
Jimmie joe with the legs and the knees all bandaged up, yeah
Came asking for some money, all I had was a buck
Yeah, that's all I had!
Four in the morning and the water is pouring down

Oh, it's four in the morning
The water is pouring down
I say, four in the morning
In the morning
In the morning, yes, in the morning
Whoa, in the morning
