Now listen here, brother

You may can't understand

I might would ke'p a woman

But i will never ke'p a man

So, please get down, big boy

Man, you big enough to walk

And when i tell you 'bout a job

Hoo, lord, you say you don't want no talk

You said you'd never work

As long as you was free

So, brother because i'm workin'

Why you pick on me?

So, please get down, big boy

Man, you big enough to walk

And when i tell you 'bout a job

Hoo, lord, you say you don't want no talk

'play it one time'

You'll come by my house

With a great long lie

You can say-a, 'hello, friends

I'm just passin' by'

You come to stay a day

And you stayed a week

And when my wife

Asked you to do her a favor

You pretend you were 'sleep

So, please get down big boy

Man, you big enough to walk

And when i tell you 'bout a job

Hoo, lord, you say you don't want no talk.

Um-um-um!
