Well I tell you the truth won't you take my word from me
I've seen better days but I ain't puttin' up with these
I've seen better days but I ain't puttin' up with these
I Had a lot better times with the women Down in New Orleans
'Cause I was born in the country she thinks I'm easy to lose
'Cause I was born in the country she thinks I'm easy to lose
She wants to hitch me to a wagon and drive me like a mule
I bought her a gold ring and I paid the rent
I bought her a gold ring and I paid the rent
She wants me to wash her clothes but I got good common sense
If you don't want me then why don't you just tell me so
If you don't want me then why don't you just tell me so
It ain't like I'm a man that ain't got no place to go
I give you sugar for sugar but all you want is salt for salt
I give you sugar for sugar but all you want is salt for salt
If you can't get along with me then it's your own fault
You want me to love you but then you just treat me mean
You want me to love you but then you just treat me mean
You're my daily thought and you're my nightly dream
Sometimes I think that you're just too sweet to die
Sometimes I think that you're just too sweet to die
And other times I think that you ought to be buried alive
