[Verse 1]
My daddy come home this mornin', drunk as he could be
My daddy come home this mornin', drunk as he could be
I know by that he's come to spat on me

[Verse 2]
He used to stay out late, now he don't come home at all
He used to stay out late, now he don't come home at all
No kiddin' either
I know there's another mule been kickin' in my stall

[Verse 3]
If you don't like my ocean, don't fish in my sea
Don't like my ocean, don't fish in my sea
Stay out of my valley and let my mountain be

[Verse 4]
I ain't had no lovin' since God knows when
I ain't had no lovin' since God knows when
That's the reason I'm through with these no-good triflin' men

[Verse 5]
Never missed the sunshine till the rain begins to fall
Never missed the sunshine till the rain begins to fall
You'll never miss your [ham?] till another mule's in your stall
