[Verse 1]
Screaming and crying, thinking about my past life to gone
Screaming and crying, thinking about my past life to gone
Well you know, I used to have a sweet little mother
You know I had such a happy home

[Verse 2]
Screaming and crying, thinking about the time I've been
Screaming and crying, thinking about the time I've been
Well you know, I used to have seven wives
Well you know, I had twenty girl friends

[Verse 3]
Screaming and crying, wondering where my people gone
Screaming and crying, wondering where my people gone
Well you know, I feel my poor self sinking down
Well you know, I can't last very long
