I've got a street walkin' woman, she stays tall an twisted all the time
I've got a street walkin' woman, she stays tall an twisted all the time
She goes to bed with a fifth of whiskey an she wakes up with a jug a-wine
She leaves home early in the mo'nin', then she don't come back until the sun's goin' down
She leaves home in the mo'nin', an' she don't come back until the sun is goin' down
She's always got her whiskey up to her mouth, and her face full of ugly frown
I work hard everyday, try to make ends meet
I work hard everyday an try to make ends meet
All that woman wants to do, is keep her big feet in the street
I love my street walkin' woman, she walks the avenue up and down
I love my street walkin' woman, she walks the avenue up and down
Sometime I wish she would start ta walkin', an' keep on walkin' outta town
