Everybody got a lovin' mama but me
Everybody got a lovin' ma but me
That keeps me worried, troubled, don't you see?

I'm going down South, wear ninety-nine pairs of shoes
I'm going down South, mama, wear ninety-nine pairs of shoes
I'm gonna keep a'walkin, till I loose these blues

Save your cryin', it sure don't make me stay
Your cryin', it sure don't make me stay
And keep on cryin', 'for you drive me away!

Don't never drive, a good man from your door
Don't never drive, a good man from your door
He may be your rider someday, you don't know

I stood and cried, cried the whole night through
I stood and cried, mama, cried the whole night through
I swear I don't love no other one but you
