Elder Greene is (take your time), Elder Greene is gone
Gone way down the country with his long coat on

With his long coat on, with his long coat on
Gone way down the country with his long coat on

Elder Greene told the deacon, let’s go down in prayer
It’s a big ‘ssociation at New Orleans, come and let’s go there

And if you got a woman, want raise her to your hand
Keep away from mamma walkin, mamma have been lonesome, mamma

Well the creek’s all muddy, and the slough’s all dry
If it wasn’t for the sweet mouth county boys all the women would die

Don’t you leave me here, don’t you leave me here
Lord I don’t care where in world you go, don’t you leave me here

I like to fuss and fight, I like to fuss and fight
Lord and get sloppy drunk offa bottled in bond and walk the streets all night

And walk the streets all night, and walk the streets all night
Lordy get sloppy drunk offa bottled in bond and walk the streets all night

Well the creek’s all muddy, and the slough’s all dry
If it wasn’t for the sweet mouth county boys all the browns would die

On the road somewhere, on the road somewhere
You can find highway robber, on the road somewhere

On the road somewhere, on the road somewhere
You can find highway robber on the road somewhere

Elder Greene told the deacon, let’s go down in prayer
You can find highway robber on the road somewhere
