I'm tired of standing : on the long lonesome road
Thinking about my baby : and got nowhere to go
It's far down the road : friend as I can see
See the woman I love : standing waving after me
I run to her friend : fell down at her knees
Crying take me back baby : God knows if you please
If you don't believe : girl I'll treat you right
Come and walk with me : down to my loving shack tonight
I'll certainly treat you : just like you was white
That don't satisfy you : girl I'll take your life
I love you girl : I will tell the world I do
And that's the reason : you treat me like you do
But go ahead : that will be all right for you
I will meet you some day : when you down in hard luck too
