Got up this morning : with the same thing on my mind And the girl I'm loving : but she don't pay me no mind Lord my girl caught the train : and she left me a mule to ride When the train turn the corner : got a note my black mule died Just as sure as the grape vine : grows all around that stump Said I want you and I need you : mama to be my sugar lump Just as sure as the rabbit : mama plays on your grandma's farm Said I done got tired : of that stuff you been carrying on Now you see me coming : now mama heist your window high But you know I'm going to leave you : girl I know you're going to grieve and cry I've got so many wagons : it done run my good road down And I got so many women : till the men don't want me around
