[Verse 1]
Yes I'm leaving in the morning mama
But I don't know where to go
I'm leaving in the morning mama
But I don't know where to go
Cause the woman I've been living with for twenty years mama
Says she don't want me no more

[Verse 2]
Brother seen my coffin
Lordy lord in my back door
Brother seen my coffin comin mama
Lordy lordy in my back door
Then he had that good lookin woman tell me to my face Mama
That she couldn't use me no more

[Bridge]
Use me now

[Verse 3]
I got grasshoppers in my pillow baby
I got crickets all in my meal
I got grasshoppers in my pillow mama
I got crickets all in my meal
I got tacks in my shoes mama
And they're sinking in my heel
