"Woke up this mornin',
when chickens were crowin' for day;
And on the right side of my pillow
my man had gone away;
By his pillow he left a note
Reading, I'm sorry dame, you got my goat;
No time to marry, no time to settle down;
I'm a young woman and ain't done runnin' round;
I'm a young woman and ain't done runnin' round;
Some people call me a hobo, some call me a bum;
Nobody knows my name, nobody knows what I've done;
I'm as good as any woman in your town;
I ain't no high yellow, I'm a deep killer brown;
I ain't gonna marry, ain't gonna settle down;
I'm gonna to drink good moonshine,
and run these browns down;
See that long lonesome road,
Lord you know it's gotta end;
And I'm a good woman, and I can get plenty men."
