[Verse 1]
It's raining here, storming on the deep blue sea
Lord, it's raining here, storming on the deep blue sea
Ain't no black-headed mama can make a fool out of me

[Verse 2]
Talk about trouble, Lord, it's all I've ever known (I've had 'em, honey)
Talk about your trouble, Lord, it's all I've ever known
Now, if I hadn't have been a man, I would have stayed at home

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
A woman will follow you right to the jailhouse door
A woman will follow you right to the jailhouse door
Then she will tell you you can't fuss and fight no more

[Verse 4]
Let me tell you something, Mama, that you don't know (Listen to mе, baby)
Let me tell you somеthing, good gal, that you don't know
I'm a do-right papa, got a home everywhere I go

[Verse 5]
I don't understand what makes you treat me like you do
I can't understand; how come you treat me like you do-doodle-do, do?
Now, if you don't want me, Mama, it's a cinch, I don't want you
[Verse 6]
I love the women and I love 'em all the same
Lord, I love the women and I love 'em all the same
But I don't love nobody well enough to change her name
The women make a fool out of me
