Now, I cant see why my baby sleeps so sound
Well now, I cant see why my baby sleeps so sound
She must-a have smoked her reefer
An its bound to carry her down
When I left her this mornin
Now, I left her sleepin sound
When I left her this mornin
I left her sleepin sound
The only way she could catch me
Is to run like a fool bloodhound
guitars washbrd bass Yas, yas
She said she was gon leave me
Goin to some no good town
She said she was gon leave me
Goin to some no good town
She was a rough cuttin woman
She didnt like to break em down
If you got a good woman
Mens, please dont take her around
If you got a good woman
Mens, please dont take her around
She will get full of reefers
And raise sand all over this town.
