Cherry was a rich girl And every boy he knows She paid five hundred dollars For just one suit of clothes Lord, I'm her man But she's doing me wrong Cherry went down to the corner saloon To fix herself a drink She paid her twenty dollars And gave them boys a wink Lord, I'm her man But she's doing me wrong Cherry called at half past two And said she'd be home late If she paid a dime for every time I'd be the king of Spain Lord, I'm her man
But she's doing me wrong I went down to the corner saloon A pistol in my hand She paid the price And now them boys can finally understand Lord, I'm her man And she done me wrong They locked me up in the county jail And threw away the key Her momma paid a visit Said, "Son, how can it be?" Lord, I'm her man And she's doing me wrong Yeah I'm her man And she's doing me wrong Lord, I'm her man Well she's doing me wrong
