My baby done quit me : and talk's all over town
I'm too good a man : to let that talk go around
I'm leaving today : going to leave this southern town
Because my baby caught a plane : that was up the way
bound
I feel like jumping : from a treetop to the ground
To get a flying start : and run my baby down
I'm reeling and rocking : Lord howling like a hound
If brownskin's the best : I'll *play a teasing brown*
Oh feel like a dirty : feel like a dat dat dat
Doesn't somebody know : where my baby at
I'm going to grab me a train : beat it on up the line
I'm going to ride : until I find that good‑goody woman of
mine
