I'm goin' upstairs

And bring down all of my clothes

I'm goin' upstairs

And bring down all of my clothes

Where I go baby

You will never know

My mother dead and gone

My father don't want me around

My mother dead and gone

My father don't want me around

Don't you know baby

I ain't got no place to go

You know

You know

You don't want me no more

Spoken：no you don't

You know

You know

Baby you don't want me no more

You can love babe

With your younger stud

Baby

Ho ho ho ho ho

Got a house on the water

You know I don't need no land

Spoken：have mercy on me

Got a house on the water

You know I don't need no land

When I'm dead and gone

Bury me in the deep blue sea

Hmm mmm

Ho ho ho ho ho
