You hear'd that rumblin'?
You hear'd that rumblin'?
Deep down in the ground oh, Lord
Do you hear'd that rumblin'
Deep down in the ground?
Now an it must be the devil
You know, turn my wimens around

Now a stack o' dollars
Stack o' dollars
Just as high as I am tall, oh Lord
Stack o' dollars
Just as high as I am tall
Now an if you be my baby
Mama, you can have them all

Well, great big woman
Great big woman
Head right full a-hair, oh Lord
She's a great big woman
Head right full a-hair
I call her tailor made
But-a peoples, they don't allow me there

Now here's my hand, babe
Now here's my hand
'If I never see you any mo', whoa Lord
Now, here's my hand
If I never see you any more
Well now, I'm gonna leave you alone
To go with Mr. So and So

(harmonica & mandolin)

Now, tell me baby
Now, tell me baby
Where did you stay last night, oh Lord?
Tell me babe
Baby, where did you stay last night?
Now, wit' yo' hair all tangled
An yo' clothes ain't fittin' you right.

(harmonica & mandolin to end)
