Intro:

'I wants to make this one right now'

This 'un, this 'un I got'

I'm g'wan, babe I'm g'wan

An cryin' won't make me stay

'Cause the mo' you cry, now-now, baby

The furth' you drive me away

Furth' you drive me away

I mean drive me away

Fur' you drive me away

Now, I wished

I was a bullfrog

Swimmin' in the

Deep blue sea

Lord, I would have all these

Good lookin' women, now-now-now

Fishin' after me

Fishin' after

I mean after

Sho' nuff after me

Now, I went to

My baby's house

An I set down

On her step

She said, 'Walk on in, now-now, Tom

My husband just now left

My husband just now

I mean just now

Sho' nuff' just now left

Oh Lord, just now left

Oh, jest now left'

(guitar)

Now, ain't none-a-mmm

None-a my bid'ness

Babe, but you know I

Know it ain't right

Stay wit' yo kid-man all day long

An play sick on yo' husband at night

On yo' husband at night

I mean yo' husband at night

Sho' nuff yo' husband at night

Oh Lord, yo' husband

Oh Lord, yo' husband

Oh Lord, yo' husband

(guitar)

'Long time, isn't it'

Now Lord, whoa Lord

Baby, hear me blow the blues

Lord, they got no bottom

Now-now-now, in my last pair-a shoe

In my last pair, sh

In my last pair.
