Last night I went to bed with my head on a street corner curb
Some kinda fool kicked me awake and I thought it was an elephant herd
Well I made it to a flathouse paid my last to lay my body down
Check out time came too soon be broken and blew downton

And I said hey hey woman come see what's left to your man
Hey hey woman come see what's left to your man

Yeah I woke up this morning had me two hundred dollars with the shakes
Took me two days to drink up a check but it took me two weeks to make
Well I got two days of whiskers gotta have a drink before I shave
I'm shakin' so bad I might cut my own throat and I ain't ready for my grave

And I say hey hey woman...

Well if I ever get back on my feet I ain't never gonna drink no more gin
Hey there boss give me a little mercy let me have my old job back again
Well all right you stubborn fool I'm the best worker you ever had
If you don't want me diggin' in your ditch it sure ain't gonna make me mad

I say hey hey woman...
Hey hey woman...
Hey hey woman...
