Lyrics

I got a woman I'm loving Live in West Helena, Arkansas I got a woman I'm loving Live in West Helena, Arkansas She buys me long toe shoes Keep that brown heel in my drawers She gets paid off on a Friday Oh, Lord, about eleven o'clock Oh, she gets paid off on a Friday Oh, Lord, about eleven o'clock Well, from then on till Monday morning The whole joint begins to reel and rock Well, they tell me West Helena It ain't nothing but a murderer's home Well, they tell me West Helena It ain't nothing but a murderer's home Well, I don't care if it's a graveyard Baby, that's where I'll be forlorn
