Lawd, captain, I’m workin’ on road,
An’ I’m in trouble again.
Lawd, you won’t come see me,
An’ I’m workin’ in chains.
Lawd, I’m not comin’ home no mo’,
O Lawd, I’m not comin’ home no mo.
Now I don’t want you here no mo’,
Yo’ hair look lak curry comb.
I got brown woman better’n you,
Lawd, I don’t want you no mo’.
