(fades in)

Hear me a-knockin

Come runnin' to yo door

Now, hear me knockin

Come runnin' to yo do

I ain't a stranger

I been here befo

My mama told me

When I walk to town

My mama told me

When I walk up to town

Runnin' round and women

Gets you after while

I got nineteen women

I believe I wants one mo

Got nineteen women

I believe I wants one mo

If the one do thrill me

Gon' let them nineteen go

Get me whiskey when I thirsy

Water when I'm dry

A whiskey thirsty

Water when I'm dry

I want to swallow 'em, living

Doggone it when I die.
