Heavy-Hipted Woman
Quit yo' long-time talkin' 'bout yo' heavy-hipted woman,
She done gone, oh, babe, she done gone
Quit yo' long-time talkin' 'bout yo' heavy-hipted woman,
She done gone, oh, babe, she done gone

Got my learnin' from a coal-black nigger,
ln de mines, oh, babe, in de mines

My woman, she keeps on a-grumblin',
'Bout a new pair o' shoes, oh, babe, 'bout a new pair o' shoes

l gave her five silver dollars,
Jus' to buy some tans, oh, babe, jus' to buy some tans

She come back a-whoopin' an a-holl'in',
Wid a pair of brogans, oh, babe, wid a pair' o' brogans
Got a bulldog weighin' nine hunderd,
In my back yard, oh, babe, in my back yard
When you hear my bulldog barkin',
Somebody's 'roun', oh, babe, somebody's 'roun'

When he barks, he ro' like thunder,
All under de groun', oh, babe, all under de groun'

When you hear my pistol shootin',
'Nother man's dead, oh, babe, 'nother man's dead

When you hear dat peafowl holl'in',
Sign o' rain, oh, babe, sign o' rain

When you hear dat blue goose holler,
Gwineta tu'n col', oh, babe, gwineta tu'n col'
When l cross dat wide ol' mountain,
I'll be free, oh, babe, den l'll be free

Take my houn' dog an' give it to my brother,
Tell him I'm gone, oh, babe, tell him l'm gone
You may look till yo' eye runs water,
l won' be back, oh, babe, l won' be back
