Says I've been traveling mama all by myself
When I had you baby you thought I had somebody else
But that's all right mama I'll be up some day
And just like you did me baby I'm going to do you the
same old way
Says I asked my baby to take me back once more
She said you ain't got no money sweet papa there is the
door
Said now I ain't got no money and no place to go
I asked you for a little small favor and you drove me
from your door
Now I've got a little sweet woman that I can call my own
I want your *turning‑gate* women to please leave me alone
Ever since you been gone mama I've been about to lose my
mind
But I got another little sweet woman and I don't want
your three sixty‑nine
