Tell That Woman

I went up the river just to pack some sacks
I thought I'd bring some o' my money back
The big boat up the river and she won't come down
My woman on the levee just acting the clown

Somebody tell that woman
Somebody tell that woman
Somebody tell that woman
Big boat up the river and she won't come down
Big boat up the river and she won't come down

Big boat up the river with a bag of sand
if she don't hit deep water she won't never land
My woman is just a shaking and a claping her hands
She think she's gonna quit me for another man

Somebody tell that woman...

(solo)

The radar on the big boat's turning round and round
My woman on the levee hopping up and down
She think she'll have some money when I come to town
She's gonna tail me down just like a natural hound

Somebody tell that woman...

Big boat up the river blowing long and sad
My woman on the levee feeling mighty glad
She should have kept the money that she once have had
When I get home it's gonna be too bad
Somebody tell that woman...
