[Verse 1]
Follow me down
Follow me down
Follow me down
To mister Tom Hughes's town

[Verse 2]
I went to my mother
Said mother don't you know?
If them women in
Shreveport gonna kill me
You better let me go

[Verse 3]
I went to my mother
Fell down on my knees
Said oh Lord
And mercy mother
Won't you forgive me, please?
