Now, tell you, mama, now, I'm sure gonna leave this
town (2)
'Cause I been in trouble ever since I sot my
suitcase down
Now you don't believe I'm leavin', just watch the
train I'm on (2)
Now you don't believe I'm ducking, just count the
days I'm gone
Now, I ain't gonna be your, your teasin' brown no
more
Mama, and I ain't gonna be your, your teasin' brown
no more
Sugar, the way you do me, you make my blood run cold
Now, 'fore I stay here, mama, and be treated this-a-
way
Mama, 'fore I stay here, now, and be treated this-a-
way
Now I let some freight train [stole?] me every day
Mmmm, Lord, oh Lord, oh, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
(2)
Now the woman I'm lovin;, she treat me like some
mangy dog
Now, looky yonder, sugar, where the risin' sun done
gone
Mmmm, looky yonder, sugar, where the risin' sun done
gone
I'd be way over here mama, a long ways from my home
