And if she gets unruly, things she don't want to do
And if she gets unruly and thinks she don't want to do
Take my 32-20 now, and cut her half in two

She got a .38 special but I believe it's most too light
She got a .38 special but I believe it's most too light
I got a 32-20, got to make the camps alright

If I send for my baby - and she don't come
If I send for my baby - man, and she don't come
All the doctors in Hot Springs sure can't help her none

I'm gonna shoot my pistol, gonna shoot my Gatling gun
I'm gonna shoot my pistol, got-ta shoot my Gatling gun
You made me love you - now your man have come

Ah-oh - baby, where you stay last night?
Ah - baby, where you stayed last night?
You got the hair all tangled and you ain't talking right

Her .38 special, boys, do it very well
Her .38 special, boys, it do very well
I got a 32-20 now, and it's a burning

If I send for my baby - and she don't come
If I send for my baby - man, and she don't come
All the doctors in Wisconsin sure can't help her none

Hey, hey, baby, where'd you stay last night?
Hey, hey, baby, where'd you stay last night?
You didn't come home until the sun was shining bright

Ah-oh - boy, I just can't take my rest
Ah-oh - boy, I just can't take my rest
With this 32-20 laying up and down my breast

I mistreated my baby, I can't see no reason why
I mistreated my baby, I can't see no reason why
Every time I thinks about it, I just wring my hands and cry

Would the good old baby apologise or would she sympathise with me?
Would the good old baby apologise or would she sympathise with me?
She's a brownskin woman, just as sweet as a girl friend can be

I love my baby, but why can't we can't agree
I love my woman, but why can't we can't agree
I really love that woman, wonder why we can't agree

It's your opinion friend-girl, that I may be right or wrong
It's your opinion friend-girl, that I may be right or wrong
But when you watch your close friend, baby, then your enemies can't do you no harm

When you got a good friend that will stay right by your side
When you got a good friend that will stay right by your side
Give her all your spare time, try to love and treat her right

When a woman get in trouble everybody throws her down
Lookin' for yo' good friend none can be found
You better come on in my kitchen
it's going to be rainin' outdoors

Nnn, the woman I love took from my best friend
Some joker got lucky stole her back again
She better come on in my kitchen
it's going to be rainin' outdoors

(spoken) Mama, can't you hear that wind howl?
Oh how the wind do howl!
You better come on in my kitchen
mmmm, baby, it's going to be rainin' outdoors

Nnn, the woman I love I crave to see
She's up the country won't write to me
Then, you better come on in my kitchen
going to be rainin' outdoors

I went to the mountain far as my eyes could see
Some other man got my woman lonesome blues got me
But she better come on in my kitchen
cause it's going to be rainin' outdoors

My mama dead pappa's well to be
Ain't got nobody to love and care for me
She better come on in this kitchen
'cause it's going to be rainin' outdoors

Me and the Devil was walking side by side
Me and the Devil was walking side by side
I'm goin' to beat my woman until I get satisfied

She say you don't see why that I will dog her 'round
She say you don't see why that I will dog her 'round
It must be that ol' evil spirit so deep down in the ground

You may bury my body down by the highway side
You may bury my body down by the highway side
So my old evil spirit can get a Greyhound bus and ride
