I was sittin' here thinkin'

My mind way, away

I had a good home

But my woman run me away

Ain't that a shame?

Yes, ain't that a shame?

Woman, you gon'

Need my help someday

I used to give my woman money

Deposit fives and tens

Now, them good times are gone, babe

They'll never happen. again

Now, ain't that a shame?

Lord, ain't that a shame?

Woman, you gon'

Need my help someday

'play it once, play it once'

Yas, yas

Now, i don't mistreat nobody

'cause you got a few dimes

You are up today, rider

But you won't be up all the time

Ain't that a shame?

Lord, ain't that a shame?

Woman, you gon'

Need my help someday

Lordy, lordy

Now, lordy, lord

I used to be yo' reg'lar

But now i gotten to be yo' dog

Now, ain't that a shame?

Lord, ain't that a shame?

Woman, you gon

Need my help someday

Now when i was in jail

You was far away

But when you got the news

You said, 'let old washboard, stay'

Now, ain't that a shame?

Lord, ain't that a shame?

Woman, you gon

Need my help someday.
