I'm goin' upstairs, and bring down all of my clothes |
|
I'm goin' upstairs, and bring down all of my clothes |
|
Where I go baby, you will never know |
|
My mother dead and gone, my father don't want me around |
|
My mother dead and gone, my father don't want me around |
|
Don't you know baby, I ain't got no place to go |
|
You know, you know, you don't want me no more |
|
(spoken: no you don't) |
|
You know, you know, baby you don't want me no more |
|
You can love babe, with your younger stud, baby |
|
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho |
|
Got a house on the water, you know I don't need no land |
|
(spoken: Have mercy on me) |
|
Got a house on the water, you know I don't need no land, |
|
When I'm dead and gone, bury me in the deep blue sea |
|
Hmm-mmm, ho-ho-ho-ho-ho |
