I was out one bad night, baby, I was travelin' through the land (Spoken: Real lonesome)
I was out one bad night, mama, I was travelin' through the land
I was lookin' for a woman, says she didn't have no man (Spoken: Yeah, I found one, you know)

I found a lady, she says she's by herself
Yes, I found a lady, she says she's all by herself
I got to love that woman, her Pop, someone else (People, let me tell you that. see I asked her)

Asked her what he was there for, she looked at me and smiled
You know by that, gentleman, that, she was makin' up a lie (Laughter, Spoken: I wouldn't too much on her, I told her,)

SPOKEN: "Listen, times are tight, gimme that gum I bought you, baby, and put it in my hand."
I said,"Gimme that gum I bought you 'fore I hurt you, and put it, put it in my hand. Don't say and try to be smart."
I say, "You're just particularly welcome, and to your other man. Good night, baby, and goodbye, too."
