I had a woman, I had a woman
Had her mouth full of shell liquor
I had a woman, had her mouth full of shell liquor
This woman made trouble, everywhere she go

She had a man on her man and a kid man on her kid
She had a man on her man and a kid man on her kid
She had so many men until she couldn't keep it here

I left that woman, one morning
Just about the break of day
I left that woman, one morning
Just about the break of day
You know I packed my suitcase, made my getaway

Here I am in chicago and I am doing very well
Here I am in chicago and I am doing very well
I don't find the woman I love, I'll just live alone by myself

Baby you gonna weep and moan, fall down on your knees
Baby you gonna weep and moan, fall down on your knees
You gonna tell the whole world how you mistreated me
