Well, I jumped in the river when I'm heading for home
I’m going to New York City and I'm getting along
And when it's high about my woman upstairs
When I try to find my baby, she wasn’t anywhere

The kind of woman you've seen
Better tell me where
Ah soon I
Got to get back now
She's the woman I love but she ain't home

Well I'm looking for a long tall good time too
I look round woman get together with you
I got me a note signed by my wife
Says I had to get away to get some living out of life

The kind of woman you've seen
Better tell me where
I said I
Gotta to get back now
She's the woman I love but she ain't home

Well, I jumped in the river when I’m heading for home
I’m going to New York City and I'm getting along
And when it’s high about my woman upstairs
When I try to find my baby, she wasn't anywhere
The kind of woman you've seen
Better tell me where
I said I
Got to get back now
She's the woman I love but she ain’t home
She's the woman I love but she ain't
She's the woman I love but she ain't

A woman around right side, uptight too
Look around woman, get together with you
I got me a note, signed by my wife
Says I had to get away to get some living out of life, oh when

Kind of woman you've seen
Better tell me when
I said I
Got to get together now
She's the woman I love but she ain't
She's the woman I love but she ain't
She's the woman I love but she ain't home

I've been listening to my radio
For two or three years
And the music they were playing it's so dog gone bad
It's been offendin' to my ears
The kids come over from the Mersey River
And I haven't seen since then
So take off your shoes
Think about the blues, and start all over again

With the good time music
That they played so long ago
Hey don't you know
I talk about the good time music
Yes, it's back on the radio

I don't want no more of an orchestra
No foolish slide trombones
Don't want no screaming ya-ya girls
I'm gonna tell them to get on home

But if there's one more
Then I'll have my heart desire
To me it is a guitar, a harp and drum
Just to set my soul on fire

With the good time music
That we played so long ago
Don't you know
I talk about the good time music
Yes, yes, yes, it's back on the radio
