0 Lord, I've been a-working, Working like a. dog all day, Trying to make another dollar For you to throw away. (You trifling woman, you!)
You spend all my money; You go dressed so fine, While I wear old clothes And I don't have a dime.
You won't bake my bread, You won't cook my beans; You want to stand by that haul-road So you can be seen.
Well, I'd rather be a-hanging, Hanging by an old grape vine, Than to know I'd have to spend my days With you all the time. (You 're running me crazy, woman!)
Well, I've been a-working Ten long hours a day, Trying to make another dollar For you to throw way.
