Now I'd rather be dead     sleep in an old hollow log
Now I'd rather be dead and     sleep in an old hollow log
And to be here baby and you doing me like a dog

Now     what you want poor John to do
Now     what you want poor John to do
Lord I done done everything tried to get along with you

Now the woman I'm loving     she got one teeth solid gold
Now the woman I'm loving     she got one teeth solid gold
Lord that" s been the onliest woman got a mortgage on my soul

Now sure as the grass on     Texas earth grow green
Now sure as the grass on     Texas earth grow green
Lord l ain't crazy about nobody l ever seen
