I woke up this mornin' in a terrible mood Now you talk about a woman treatin' a good man rude She had me talkin' to myself gazin' at that mean ol' wall She had another daddy waitin' down at the end of the hall She changes with the weather like the leaves I recall She blossoms in the spring but then she's gone in the fall A two timin' woman with a heart of solid stone She tells me that she loves me but her heart's a little under grown Well, she said she'd never leave me but she got the urge to roam
She drifts around the country like a steamboat on a foam She never changes course, she just goes along that same ol' way And I hope she keeps a driftin' rolls along back home someday 'Cause if I ever find her, gonna chain her to the floor And tell her, "Now sit there, woman, you ain't leavin' no more I'm gonna tame your mama till you're eatin' from my hand It's not that I don't love you, honey, it's just to make you understand"
