My baby done quit me: And talk's all over town
I'm too good a man: To let that talk go around
I'm leaving today: Going to leave this southern town
Because my baby caught a plane: That was up the way
Bound
I feel like jumping: From a treetop to the ground
To get a flying start: And run my baby down
I'm reeling and rocking: Lord howling like a hound
If brownskin's the best: I'll *play a teasing brown*
Oh feel like a dirty: Feel like a dat dat dat
Doesn't somebody know: Where my baby at
I'm going to grab me a train: Beat it on up the line
I'm going to ride: Until I find that good‑goody woman of
Mine
