"I'm gonna cut your throat babe, gonna look down in your face
Ahh, gonna look down in your face
I'm gonna let some lonesome graveyard be your restin' place"
"Says, I'll cut your throat, mama, drink your blood like wine
I'll cut your throat, mama, now, drink your blood like wine
Say, you can't quit me and cannot neither try"
"If I send for my baby, she act a fool and she dont never come,
all the doctors in New York City,
I declare, they can't help her none."
"You know, sometimes she gets unruly and she act just like she don't wanna do.
When I get my 22-20,
I cut that woman half in two."
"I got a brand new razor
and a 44 gun.
I'm gon' cut you if you stay here.
I'm gon' shoot you if you run.
Oh, my babe, why don't you come home."
"How can I miss you, Baby, with my pistol in your mouth?"
"Yeah, I lay down last night I was thinking
Must I kill that woman? Must I kill that woman?
Oh Lord I get down on my knees
They tell me God forgivin' everything you do
But I don't care what the people say
I'm gonna kill that woman,
I'm gonna kill that woman, God knows
I'm gonna get down on my knees"
"I told her I loved her man, grave will be her restin' place
She looked at me with burnin' eyes, threw carbolic acid in my face
Carbolic acid has poisoned me, Doc Precious Wynn will tell you so
Carbolic acid has poisoned me, Doc Precious Wynn will tell you so
I got burned about the man I love, now I got to let him go
Layin' in my bed, my face burned to the bone
Layin' in my bed, my face burned to the bone
If carbolic acid don't kill me, penitentiary gonna be my home"
