The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Goin back home, just as soon as God break day.
Goin back home, just as soon as the good Lord break a day.
Whoa, you know this ain't no place for me,
And I don't think po' Lightnin wanna stay.
Married woman, she the sweetest thing, man, in this world.
Married woman, she the sweetest thing, man, in this world.
You know why I know it? I got one,
Every night she lays in po' Lightnin's (quilt?)
Sometimes, she calls me her little boy,
Listen at me, I calls her my little girl.
Sometimes, she call me her little boy,
Listens at me, sometimes I call her my little girl.
Yes, when that woman go to kiss me,
Po' Lightnin think he's out of this world.
