Would you wash my jumper

Starch my overalls?

I'm gon' find my woman

Said, she's in the world somewhere

What a-good are you, mama?

Sho' nuff killin' me

What a-good are you, mama?

Sho' nuff killin' po' me

But as good as you, mama

Says that, sho' nuff killin' me

I wonder do my

Rider think of me?

I wonder, do my-a

Rider, think of 'po' me?

Cryin', if she did she would

Sho' Lord, feel my care

I woke this mo'nin'

Said my mo'nin prayer

I woke this mo'nin'

Said my mo'nin prayer

I woke this mo'nin', baby

Said my mo'nin prayer

I ain't got no woman

Keepin' my little house

I ain't got no woman, no

Keepin' my little house

I ain't got no woman to

Sleep in my board house

Would you wash my jumper

Starch my overalls?

Would you wash my jumper

Starch my overalls?

I'm gon' find my woman

Said she's in the world, somewhere

Said, I'll learn you how to

Starch 'em overalls.
