Tell you a secret - you gotta keep it hid Tell you`bout a woman - and the things she did She took my money - and she took my pride Gonna tell you a secret - I got nothing to hide
Cause I`m movin on down the line Gonna leave that no-good woman Got that devil woman - off my mind
I`ll take the moonlight special - gonna do it right The moonlight special - and travel overnight I`m going up the country - where I can`t be found Find a hideaway and keep my ear close to the ground
She`s a mean mistreater- and she treat me bad She`s a robber and a cheater - and she got me mad Gonna wash that woman - right outta my mind Gonna leave that woman - leave that woman way behind
Gonna tell you a secret - gonna keep it hid Tell you`bout a woman - `bout the things she did
