Well, I ain't goin' down

Baby, that dark road by myself

Baby, I ain't goin' down

Baby that dark road by myself

I'm gonna leave you, sweet mama

I'm gon' take somebody else

Well, I won't take my bucket

To your no good well, no mo'

Said, I won't take my bucket

To your no good well, no mo'

When I wants cool water

I'm gon' make Alberta go

Alberta, Alberta

What makes you treat me so?

Alberta, Alberta

What makes you treat me so?

You don't treat me no better

Any man you had befo'

'Pick it, pick it!'

(instrumental & harmonica)

She's a long tall woman

She's got coal black, curly hair

She's a long talll woman

She's got coal black, curly hair

She's got airplane movements

She can make it anywhere.
