Well I had me a woman
She was nineteen years' old
Well she damned my socks
But she damned my soul

Love me fore 'ya leave me
Love me fore 'ya leave me, child
You're gonna be ready this time
Love me fore ya leave me child

Lookin' so pretty so I wrote out a note
She played tic tac toes
With all those x's and o's
Oh love me fore 'ya leave me
Love me fore 'ya leave me child
You're gonna be ready this time
Yes, indeed, love me fore ya leave me child

I asked her what she thought about my new CD
Well, I noticed the coaster where she put my cup of tea
Love me fore 'ya leave me
Love me fore 'ya leave me, child
You're gonna be ready this time
Love me fore ya leave me child

I found me a woman
That would shame them all
I said, you can be the main course baby
She can be the course, oh
Love me fore 'ya leave me
Love me fore 'ya leave me, child
You're gonna be ready this time
Yes indeed, love me fore you leave me child

I said for the last time
Love me fore 'ya leave me, child
You're gonna be ready this time, oh
Love me fore 'ya leave me, child
