Ain't gonna marry, (no) need to settle down
I'm gonna stay right here til I tear this barrelhouse down

I love you baby, and I tell the world I do
And I love you baby, and I tell the world I do
I don't love nobody in this whole round world but you

Ain't no use of weeping, ain't no need to cry
Ain't no use of weeping, ain't no need to cry
You've got a home just long as I've got mine

Is you ever been lucky now woke up cold and ..........
I was .......... nothing but a monkey man

And I love you baby, you so nice and brown
And I love you baby, you so nice and brown
Cause you put up .......... so it won't come down

Did you get that letter now, mailed in your back yard
Did you get that letter now, mailed in your back yard
Said what it said but you .......... friend have to part
