Used to be my sugar : you ain't sweet no more
Because you mistreated me : and you throwed me from your door
Mama my cot's ready : keep it for myself
Mama I done got tired : of sleeping by myself
Mama didn't like me : papa give me ways
That's the very reason : I'm a wandering child today
Talk about your sure love : just ought to meet mine
She ain't so good‑looking : but she do just fine
She stood on the corner : *see she going to steal that* man
And a blind man see her : dumb man call her name
Dumb man asked her : who your [man, regular] can be
And the blind man looked at you : sure look good to me
