INTRO

I had a good woman, finally she went away
Says, I had a good woman, finally she went away
She left me broke and hungry, didn’t have no place to stay

If you get a woman, and you can’t understand
If you get a woman, and you cannot understand
Say, she will quit you, for another man

Let’s get down to business, I tell you what I will do
Let’s get down to business, I tell you what I will do
Says, I work seven days in the week, just to get along with you

SOLO

Says, I’m gon’ work six days in the week, just to get along with you
Says, I’m gon’ work six days in the week, I’m gon’ work all day long
Yes, soon as you pay me my money, I’m gonna bring my check right home
