I got a mother and father

Livin’ in a cottage by de sea.

I got a sister and a brother, too,

Wonder do dey think o’ po’ me.

I walked in my room de udder night,

My man walked in and began to fight.

I took my gun in my right han’,

Told de folks I’m gonna kill my man.

When I said dat, he broke a stick ’cross my head.

First shot I made my man fell dead.
