Down South
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.
I came home this morning, feeling down and out
I came home this morning, feeling down and out
I was lonely woman, when I got home found my woman was
out
I says baby why do you want to leave me, why do you
want to treat me this way
Why do you want to leave me, and why do you want to
treat me this way
You're gonna wake up now woman, you gonna need my love
someday
Come on now
Come on now we ain't do it
I'm gonna take you back down south this morning, put
you back out there in the fields
Love make you pick me two hundreds pounds a day,
gettin' used to that ol' cotton field
Love or leave me but don't never never question my
words no more
