Young Woman's Blues

Lyrics

Woke up this mornin'
 When chickens was crowin' for day
 ♪
 Felt on the right side of my pillar
 My man had gone away
 ♪
 By this pillar
 He left a note reading
 "I'm sorry, Jane, you got my goat
 No time to marry, no time to settle down"
 I'm a young woman and ain't done runnin' 'round
 ♪
 I'm a young woman and ain't done runnin' 'round
 Some people call me a hobo
 Some call me a bum
 Nobody knows my name
 Nobody knows what I've done
 I'm as good as any woman
 In your town
 I ain't no high yeller
 I'm a deep killer of brown
 I ain't gonna marry
 Ain't gonna settle down
 I'm gonna drink good moonshine
 And rub these browns down
 See that long lonesome road
 ♪
 Lord, you know it's gotta inn
 And I'm a good woman
 And I can get plenty men
