I’ve forsaken my sister, forsaken my brother, I’ve forsaken my daddy and my dear old mother
I had to do that to change that woman’s name
Now she’s fixin’ to leave me, ain’t this a cryin’ shame?
If it wasn’t for love, people, I wouldn’t know what to do, if it wasn’t for women, I’d never be blue
They’s awful tricky, but I love ’em just the same
My woman have tricked me, ain’t this a cryin’ shame?
I didn’t know, people, she was that tricky kind, I was awful weak, I grabbed the hook and line
She had that feelin’, and made me change her name
She throwed me down, ain’t this a cryin’ shame?
Weak-minded people, can easily to be misled, especially when they are sleepin’, in a lonesome bed
She had that feelin’, and made me change her name
She went away and left me, ain’t this a cryin’ shame?
I woke up this mornin’, about the break of day, I reached over and grabbed the pillow, where she used to lay
It’s awful, people, I love her just the same
She went away and left me, ain’t this a cryin’ shame?
