I don't want no woman : partner that wants every man in town
Know she ain't no good : she will tear your reputation down

I went to my woman's house : just to sit down and talk awhile
Her husband come in with his shotgun : and he run me for a solid mile

When I got home partner : I didn't have time to [fasten, lock] my back gate
I thought he was still behind me : and I didn't hesitate

I won't try no mule : that don't know gee from haw
I don't want no woman : she just soon as say yes as to say no

Turn your light out mama : and [I want you to] pull you curtains down
I'm going to fill you car with gasoline : and meet you going downtown
