My babe my babe, sure is good to me She tore up my troubles, broke up my misery I can ask her for whiskey, she gives me cherry wine So you wish your woman, would treat you good like mine Her hair ain't curly, but it hang like horse's mane Know you wish you had a woman, to treat you just the same I can ask her for a nickel, she gives me ten and a dime Know you wish you had a woman, to treat you just like mine She got me out of jail, bought me a diamond ring I ain't going to do nothing, but lay around and shake that thing She calls me daddy, then she calls me sugar pie I ain't going to do nothing, but lay down by her side Now when she's dead, six feet in the clay Won't have another woman, to treat me this a‐way Now goodbye goodbye, baby now fare you well If I don't meet you in heaven, you know I'll meet you in hell Now I'm leaving I'm leaving, leaving on the eagle wing All don't see me, know can hear me sing She had an old job, making four dollars a day I didn't have to do nothing, but lay around and throw it away
