I'm gonna start a graveyard of my own
If that man't don't leave my gal alone
Oh my reasons are certain and [?]
Lay that man right in the sheets
I'm gonna start a graveyard of my own

And throwed them out her door
I'm gonna start a graveyard of my own
Oh she gave me the sack
Told me "Never come back"
And I'm gonna start a graveyard of my own

Yea, I'm gonna start a graveyard of my own

I ain't good looking but [found?] him
I don't believe no bottle'll drive me away

[Refrain]
Oh she bundled up my clothes
And throwed them out her door

[Spoken Word]
Oh I was down to a girl's house the other night
She told me she didn't have no one to come see her
I went down there, knocked on the door, she told me to come in
Whilst I was sitting down there another man come down there Lord and then I were
"You come in and i'll [?]"
And he broke off a glass
And to let me know he owned everything down there, he went on to into the back room
Whilst he was in there this girl said, "Don't pay that man no mind"
Say, "He used to mean something here, but he ain't nothing here now"
I said, "I ain't stressing about that man, because i'm just..."

[Refrain 2]
Oh some round him, downed him
I ain't good looking but [found?] him
I don't believe no bottle'll drive me away
[Chorus]
I'm gonna start a graveyard of my own
If that man't don't leave my gal alone
Oh my reasons are certain and [?]
Lay that man right in the sheets
I'm gonna start a graveyard of my own
