Sick and tired by the way you do
Good time papa gonna poison you
Sprinkle goofer dust all around your bed
Wake up one of these days, find your own self dead

She said, "You shouldn't say that"
I said, "What did I say to make you mad this time, baby?"
She said, "Mmm, I don't know
My oh my oh my
She said I don't know, but my baby's holding down"

The woman I love has got dimples in her jaw
Clothes she's wearing made out of the best of cloth
She can take 'em and wash 'em, put 'em upside a wall
She can throw 'em out a window, pick 'em up a little before the fall
Sometimes I think you got your habits on

She said, "You shouldn't say that"
I said, "What did I say to piss you off this time, baby?"
She said, "Mmm, I don't know
My oh my oh my
But my baby's holding down"

My mama told me, my mama sat down and cried
She said you're too young to have as many woman as you got
I looked at my mother dear, didn't even crack a smile
Said If woman don't kill me, I don't mind dying
The woman I love, I want to wait for last
The woman I love, I got all class
Thought I warned you baby, a long time ago
Better watch your step or I'm going to have to let you go

She said, "You shouldn't say that"
I said Baby
You know when you bend over I see every bit of Christmas
And when you bend back I'm looking right into the new year
She said Honey, you know I gave up cigarettes for my new year's resolution
But I didn't give up smoking
I said Woman, you going to walk a mile for a Camel
Or are you going to make like Mr Chesterfield and satisfy?
She said That all depends on what your packing
Regular or kingsize

Then she pulled out my Jim Beam, and to her surprise
It was every bit as hard as my Canadian Club
I said Well, now, what you got to say, baby?
She said Umm...

I don't know
My oh my oh my
I don't know
But my baby's holding down
