I don't fool around with women
All's I crave is men
I don't around with women
All's I crave is men
When my best man walks in
That's where my love, begins
Well, ev'rytime I see yo picture
Hangin' in the frame
Well, ev'rytime I see yo picture
Hangin' in the frame
You used to play cards, daddy
But you didn't no the game
Well, he roars like a lion
An he hop like a kangroo
Well, he roars like a lion
An he hop like a kangroo
An if I get that man back
I don't know what I'll do
When my baby left me
I was standin' in my do'
When my baby left me
I was standin' in my door
I was cryin' an beggin'
'Daddy, please don't go'
(piano)
Well, he wrote me a letter
Nothin' in it but a note
Well, he wrote me a letter
Nothin' in it but a note
I sat right down and wrote him
You know I ain't no billy goat.
