    I believe, I believe that I'll go back home
    Umm-um-um
    I believe that I'll go back home
    Well now I'm goin', hardly matters
    Ooo-well-brown, than if I be treated wrong

    Well, now this not my home
    Mama, an I sure don't have to stay
    Umm-mm-mm
    Babe, I sure don't have to stay
    Well now-now, give me a good going
    Hoo-hoo-well-well, then I believe I'll go away

    Please now don't never give
    The woman you love, dime
    I said, please don't never give
    The woman you love, dime
    Well then after you do it
    Hoo-hoo-well now
    She gon' mistreat you all the time

    (piano)

    Well, my little woman now she called me
    An asked me for my last dime
    Well, my little woman she called me
    An asked me for my last dime
    Well, well now when she get it
    Hm-mm, 'Now', she said, 'You is no man a-mine'

    You been a-lyin', baby
    You been a-lyin'
    I don't know how I love you what you do
    Hmm-mm-mm
    Feedin' me lies will hurt you, too
    Well now the same old thing
    Hoo-hoo, now is gon' come creeping after you.
