Screamin' and cryin', thinkin' 'bout my past life to gone
Screamin' and cryin', thinkin' 'bout my past life to gone
Well you know, I used to have a sweet little mother
You know I had such a happy home
Screamin' and cryin', thinkin' about the time I've been
Screamin' and cryin', thinkin' about the time I've been
Well you know, I used to have seven wives
Well you know, I had twenty girl friends
Screamin' and cryin', wonderin' where my people gone
Screamin' and cryin', wonderin' where my people gone
Well you know, I feel my poor self sinkin' down
Well you know, I can't last very long
Screamin' and cryin', wonderin' where my people gone
Screamin' and cryin', wonderin' where my people gone
Well you know, I feel my poor self sinkin' down
Well you know, I can't last very long
