Oh, I asked her for water, she brought me gasoline
Oh, I asked her for water, she brought me gasoline
That's the troublingest woo-hoo (
woman?
), that I ever seen
The church bell tollin', the hearse come driving slow
The church bell tollin', the hearse come driving slow
I hope my baby, don't leave me no more
Oh tell me baby, when are you coming back home?
Oh tell me baby, when are you coming back home?
You know I love you baby, but you've been gone too long
