Lyrics
I leave here I'm going to catch that M&O<br> Now when I leave here I'm going to catch that M&O<br> I'm going way down South where I ain't never been before<br> <br> Once I had a notion, Lord, and I believe I will<br> Once I had a notion, Lord, and I believe I will<br> I'm going to build me a mansion out on Decatur Hill<br> <br> Now it's all of you men oughta be ashamed of yourself<br> It is all of you men oughta be ashamed of yourself<br> Going 'round here swearing before God you got a poor woman by yourself<br> <br> I started to kill my woman till she laid down across the bed<br> I started to kill my woman till she laid down across the bed<br> And she looked so ambitious till I took back everything I said<br> <br> And I asked her how about it, Lord, and she said "All right"<br> And I asked her how about it, Lord, and she said "All right"<br> But she never showed up at the shack last night<br>
