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.
