Mama, I ain't gon' be your old work ox no more
Mama, I ain't gon' be your old work ox no more
You done fooled around, woman, and let your ox get bored
She'll get up early in the morning, just a while 'fore day
She get up early in the morning, just a while 'fore day
Then cook your breakfast, man, rush you away
"Come in, daddy, know my ox is gone."
"Come in, daddy, know my ox is gone."
You can never tell when your ox is comin' back home
You can never tell what these double-crossing women will do
You can never tell what these double-crossing women will do
Says, they will have your buddy, then play sick on you
