You're gonna quit me, baby
  Good as I been to you, Lawd, Lawd
  Good as I been to you, Lawd, Lawd
  Good as I been to you.
    Give you my money, honey
  Buy you shoes and clothes, Lawd, Lawd.
    You're gonna quit me, baby
  Put me outta doors, Lawd, Lawd.
    Six months on the chain gang
  Believe me, it ain't no fun, Lawd, Lawd.
    Jailhouse ain't no plaything
  Believe me, ain't no lie, Lawd, Lawd.
    Day you quit me, baby
  That's the day you die, Lawd, Lawd.
