Out l walked all night long     wilh my forty-four in my hand
Lord l walked all night long     with my forty-four in my hand
l was looking for my woman     found her with another man
Lord l wore my forty-four so long     Lord it made my shoulder sore
Lord l wore my forty-four so long     Lord it made my shoulder sore
After l do what l wants to     ain't gonna wear my forty-four no more

Lord my baby say     she heard the forty-fow whistle blow
Lord my baby say     she heard that forty-four whistle blow
Lord it sound just like     it ain't going to blow the whistle no more
Lord l got a little cabin     Lord it's number forty-four
Lord l got a little cabin     Lord it's nwnber forty-four
Lord l wake up every morning     the wolf be scratching on my door
