Cat's eye, apple pie, what am I gonna do?
The woman I loved walked out on me, what am I gonna do?
Hound dog, bull frog, she just up and gone
The woman I love has done me wrong, what am I gonna do?

Green beans, black-eyed peas, what am I gonna do?
The woman I love has let me down, what am I gonna do?

She's a delta queen, know what I mean
As mean as wildfire lightnin'
She can win and break the heart of any man

She's the delta queen of New Orleans
And she loved me somethin' frightnin'
But she left me for a dollar wavin' man
