I send for my baby, and she don’t come
I send for my baby, man, and she don’t come
All the doctors in Hot Springs, sure can’t help her none
And if she gets unruly, thinks she don’t wan’ do
If she gets unruly and thinks she don’t wan’ do
Take my 32-20 now and cut her half in two
She got a .38 special but I b’lieve it’s most too light
She got a .38 special but I b’lieve it’s most too light
I got a 32-20 got to make the camps* alright
I send for my baby, man, and she don’t come
I send for my baby, man, and she don’t come
All the doctors in Hot Springs, sure can’t help her none
I’m gonna shoot my pistol gonna shoot my Gatling gun
I’m gonna shoot my pistol got to shoot my Gatling gun
You made me love you, now your man have come
Aah, baby, where you stay last night?
Aah, baby, where you stayed last night?
You got the hair all tangled and you ain’t talkin’ right
Her .38 special, boys, it do very well
Her .38 special, boys, it do very well
I got a 32-20 now and it’s a burnin’ #
If I send for my baby, man, and she don’t come
I send for my baby, man, and she don’t come
All the doctors in Wisconsin sure can’t help her none
Hey hey, baby, where you stay last night?
Hey hey, baby, where you stay last night?
You didn’t come home until the sun was shinin’ bright
Aah, boys, I just can't take my rest
Aah, boys, I just can't take my rest
With this 32-20 layin’ up and down my breast
