I don’t need nothing but my overalls, I done trimmed these women and they bound to fall Your time to worry, my time to live alone, but your reckless disposition, Mama, drove your daddy way from home
I don’t want no woman, goin’ to run around, and drink her whiskey, act like a fanfoot clown Your time to worry, my time to live alone, your reckless disposition, baby, drove a good man away from home
I don’t want no woman with face like a natural man, when she come to your home there’ll be trouble in the land But let it be her time to worry, my time to live alone, your reckless disposition drove your daddy way from home
Break
Now woman if I had your heart in my hand, I would teach you exactly how to treat a real good man Because it’s your time to worry, my time to live alone, your reckless disposition drove a good man way from home
I tried to treat you good, tried to treat you right, but you stayed off me woman both day and night Now it’s your time to worry, my time to live alone, your reckless disposition, honey, drove a good man way from home
Now it’s a mighty sad story, misunderstood, everybody in Atlanta, in my neighborhood Say it’s your time to worry, my time to live alone, your reckless disposition drove a good man way from home
