Lyrics:
You know I had a job on the levee I had a good looking woman who lived in Hughes I had a job on the levee I had a good looking woman she lived in Hughes You know that pretty little thing She kept me with the government fleet blues You know on every pay day She'd be standing around the landing crying On every pay day She'd be standing around the landing crying She be saying why don't that big boat hurry and Bring home that man of mine? You know on every pay day She could, she could hear the big boat when she blow Well on every pay day She could hear the big boat when she blow But when I done not get the check She told me she couldn't use me no more But I said that's all right big girl Honey, that's all right for you Yeah, hoo little girl that's all right for you I say you treat me low down and dirty See, baby, that's the way you's do I packed up all my clothes Left her settin' in the back door crying Aye yeah I left her settin' in the back door crying You know that done run the poor girl crazy I believe she gonna lose her mind You know don't come here honey Throwing up your doggone hands Don't come here baby I said throwing up your doggone hands You know I, I been your dog Ever since that I been your man But I said baby when you get lonesome Set right down and write to me Yeah -- yeah -- set right down you can write to me You know I can read your little writing baby Don't care where in this world I'll be You know love make you do things you don't want to do You know love make you do things you don't want to do You know from love sometime Will leave you feeling so sad and so blue Oh, Listen here honey Think about poor me some time Yeah, hoo think about poor me some time You know I feel so bad When you roll across my mind You know if you never no more see me You'll forever be on my mind If I never no more see you Yeah, you'll forever be on my mind You know every time I think about you honey I just can't keep from crying Oh it's so hard To love when they don't love you Ah, yeah, yeah, when they don't love you You can't do nothing baby when they do not want you But I tell 'em look it here, baby Your little trouble is coming home some day Yeah just like I tell you Your little trouble is coming home some day I said you gonna be sorry That you treated poor me this way
