When I was in Missouri Would not let me be Wouldn't rest content 'Till I came to Tennessee If you follow me baby I'll turn your money green I show you more money Rockerfeller ever seen If the river was whiskey Baby and I was a duck I'd dive to the bottom Lord and I'd never come up Lord the woman I hate I see her every day But the woman I love She's so far away Talk about sweetheart I declare I'm a honest man Give my woman so many dollars It broke her apron string All she give me was trouble I'm troubled all the time I been troubled so long Trouble don't worry my mind I been down so long It seem like up to me Woman I love She done quit poor me What's the need of me hollering What's the need of me crying Woman I love She don't pay me no mind
