My baby stayed with D.C. for the weekend
Shining up his goose when I was gone
Her daddy went and picked me up on Monday
Told me where her little girl had gone

But D.C. was a bad man
Picking it up, and falling back again
Let me take you home, take you home
Cause D.C. won't do you no good

Thought it was a dream
Pity's dealt on a bad hand
Telling me why you was gonna change
Real life was like
Dust on an old man's shoes
Still he stole your heart away

But D.C. was a bad man
Picking it up, and falling back again
Let me take you home, take you home
Cause D.C. won't do you no good
