Listen here pretty papa
Leave, get out of my sight
I'm calling it quits now
Right from this very night

You know, you've had your days
Don't stand around
You've been a good old wagon, daddy, but you done broke down

You'd better go down to the blacksmith shop
Get yourself an overhaul
There ain't nothin' about you
Make a good woman bawl

When you were in your prime
You used to love to run around
You've been a good old wagon, daddy, but you done broke down

When the sun is shining
That's the time to make haste
Now it's raining all the time
And you can't make your old wagon pay

Nobody wants a baby
When a real man can be found
You've been a good old wagon, daddy, but you done broke down
Well now, there ain't no use in crying
Or to make a big show
This man has taught me more about lovin'
Than you will ever know

Well now, he is the king of lovin'
Just minus of a crown
He's a good old wagon, daddy, and he ain't broke down
