I'm goin' to the river folks and take a great big jump
(2X)
I used to be a wise man, but a woman made me a chump

It sure is funny how hard a man can fall (2x)
When he gets to thinkin' one woman has got it all

My baby throwed me out and I started walkin' down the
Tracks, (2x)
Then I went home and begged her to take me back.

She ain't no good, but I can't quit her somehow (2x)
I used to be a wise cat but this woman has turned me
Down.

She don't act sweet. She's the mean and naggin' kind (2x)
She's got a quiver, make a drunk man lose his mind
