I've got a man
He kneels down by the sea
I've got a man
He kneels down by the sea
But that's all gone, salty water
You ain't got 'em for me
ย
He sent me a letter
Nothin' in his butter, no
ย
He sent me a letter
Nothin' in his butter, no
I sat right down and wrote him
"Man, I ain't no Billy Go"
ย
I may be crazy
But mama ain't nobody through
ย
I may be crazy
But mama ain't nobody through
Before I'll send your dog in
I'll eat grass like of joy to mew
ย
Daddy know no curve stone
Worried in both heart and soul
ย
Daddy know no curve stone
Worried in both heart and soul
You're no been a problem
Hidin' in my proud old hope
I'm crazy, 'bout my sugar
My sugar and oolong tea
I'm crazy, 'bout my sugar
My sugar and oolong tea
But that doesn't salty water
Hate to go from there for me
