I don’t need nothing but my overalls, I done trimmed these women and they bound to fall
Your time to worry, my time to live alone, but your reckless disposition, Mama, drove your daddy way from home

I don’t want no woman, goin’ [bad word] around, and drink her whiskey, act like a fanfoot clown
Your time to worry, my time to live alone, your reckless disposition, baby, drove a good man away from home

I don’t want no woman with face like a natural man, when [bad word] to your home there’ll be trouble in the land
But let it be her time to worry, my time to live alone, your reckless disposition drove your daddy way from home

Break

Now woman if I had your heart in my hand, I would teach you exactly how to treat a real good man
Because it’s your time to worry, my time to live alone, your reckless disposition drove a good man way from home

I tried to treat you good, tried to treat you right, but you stayed off me woman both day and night
Now it’s your time to worry, my time to live alone, your reckless disposition, honey, drove a good man way from home

Now it’s a mighty sad story, misunderstood, everybody in Atlanta, in my neighborhood
Say it’s your time to worry, my time to live alone, your reckless disposition drove a good man way from home
