Says I never missed my water, not until my well went dry Says I never missed my water, not until my well went dry Says I never missed sweet Annie, not until she said goodbye Hey Lord sweet mama, tell me when you're coming back again Hey Lord sweet mama, tell me when you're coming back again Says I ain't had none of your loving, Lord since God knows when Now the mailman he pa**ed, but he did not leave no news Now the mailman he pa**ed, but he did not leave no news Says he left me standing here, with the doggone aching-heart blues
Well I ain't going to be no fool man, I'm going to hold up my head and walk Well I ain't going to be no fool man, I'm going to hold up my head and walk Says my woman get a chance to see me, but they all hear me when I talk Says I holler in the morning, I begin to moan late at night Says I holler in the morning, I begin to moan late at night Says I got a hard-hearted woman, and she don't know how to treat me right
