Oh, de church bell's ringin'
The second tenor's singin'
The preacher's preachin'
Can't you hear the sister's shoutin'
Children and poor kids
Mama, tryin' to learn my song
Now, that lowdown dirty deacon
Just stole my gal and gone

Says, ooh
My father had 'em, my sister had 'em
My auntie had 'em, my mother died with 'em
Woke up this mornin'
The family had the worry blues

And the people round the corner
Poor, old grand mammy had 'em, too

I did more for you woman
Way last winter, late in the fall
Man, when I *skuffer through the summer
I did more for you woman (sho' admit it)
Good Lordy, than I ever done (you did, you did)
Came downtown and bought you good ham
And Lord, an hadn't give you enough

You better stop demanding woman
Don't eat my meat
Drinkin' my wine
Spend all my money
You better stop your gall
Bum from drinking all of my gin
You gonna run over some-a these mornings
Papa swear you can't get in.

~
*skuffer - when you suffer, struggle & skraggle, all at the same time!
