I'm looking for a woman, that will work to set me down
I'm looking for a woman, that will work to set me down
I've been looking all night long, she can't be found
Well I met one last night, and I told her what I liked
Well I met one last night, and I told her what I liked
She said get away from here country boy, go back to your countryside
Well tell me baby, what you see wrong with me
Well tell me baby, what you see wrong with me
Well if I had you baby, you wouldn't be lookin' back at me
Well so long mama, baby bye-bye you bye
Well so long mama, baby bye-bye you bye
Well now bye-bye baby, with a tear in your eye
