Last night I went to bed with my head on a street corner curb Some kinda fool kicked me awake yeah I thought it was an elephant herd Well I made it to a flathouse I paid my last to lay my body down Check out time came too soon be broken and blew downton And I said hey hey woman come see what's left to your man Hey hey woman come see what's left to your man Yeah I woke up this morning I had two hundred dollars with the shakes Yeah it took me two days to drink up a check but it took me two weeks to make I got two days of whiskers I better have a drink before I shave
I'm shakin' so bad I might cut my own throat and I ain't ready for my grave And I said hey hey woman... If I ever get back on my feet I ain't never gonna drink no more gin Hey there boss show me a little mercy let me have my old job back again Well all right you stubborn fool I'm the best worker you ever had And if you don't want me diggin' in your ditch it sure ain't gonna make me mad And I said hey hey woman... Hey hey woman come see what's left to your man Hey hey woman come see what's left to your man
