Look on yonder wall and hand me down my walkin cane.
Look on yonder wall and hand me down my walkin cane.
I got me another woman, baby, yon come your man.
Look on yonder wall and hand me down my walkin cane.
Look on yonder wall and hand me down my walkin cane.
I got me another woman and uh, baby, yon come your man.
You hurried up and went to the wall,
And you know it was tough, uh,
I don't know how many mens you's killed,
But, I know you done killed enough for two.
Look on yonder wall and hand me down my walkin cane.
Look on yonder wall and hand me down my walkin cane.
I got me another woman, now baby, yon come your man.
Oh yeah.
I love you baby, but you just can't treat me right,
Spend all my money and walk the streets all night.
But, look on yonder wall and hand me down my walkin cane.
I got me another woman, and baby, yon come your man.
