[Chorus]
Don't ease, don't ease, don't ease me in
I've been all night long coming home, don't ease me in

[Verse 1]
I was walking down the street
With a dollar in my hand
I was looking for a woman
Sweet mama didn't have no man

[Chorus]
Don't ease, don't ease, don't ease me in
I've been all night long coming home, don't ease me in

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 2]
The girl I love, she's sweet and true
The dress she wears, sweet mama, it's pink and blue
She brings me coffee, she brings me tea
She brings about every darn thing but the jailhouse key

[Chorus]
Don't ease, don't ease, don't ease me in
I've been all night long coming home, don't ease me in
[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
I was walking down Main
Deep Elliman too
You know all God's women down there
Got the Texas blues

[Chorus]
Don't ease, don't ease, don't ease me in
I've been all night long coming home, don't ease me in
Don't ease, don't ease, don't ease me in
I've been all night long coming home, don't ease me in
