Said I′m leaving in the morning baby
And I don’t know which a way to go
Said I′m leaving in the morning mama
And I don’t know which a way to go
Said the woman I’ve been living with for twenty years mama
Said she don′t want me no more
Rather see my coffin coming baby
Whoo

Throwing blood in my back door
Rather see my coffin coming mama
Throwing blood in my back door
And to have that good looking woman tell me to my face mama
That she can′t use me no more
I got holes in my pockets baby
Whoo

I got patches on my pants
I got holes in my pockets mama
I got patches on my pants
I’m behind in my house of rent mama
Landlord he wants it all in advance
I got grasshoppers in my pillow baby
Whoo

I got crickets all in my meal
I got grasshoppers in my pillow mama
I got crickets all in my meal
I got tacks in my shoes baby
And they′re sticking in my heels
Whoo!
