Tell me pretty daddy, what's the matter now
Tell me pretty daddy, what's the matter now
Aw, you're trying to quit me and you don't know how
I'd rather be dead, buried in the sea
I'd rather be dead, buried in the sea
Than have the man I love say he don't want me
Lawd, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd
Lawd, Lawd, Lawdy, Lawdy, Lawd
Oh, the man I love treats me like a dog
I'd rather see my coffin come rolling in my door
I'd rather see my coffin come rolling in my door
Than hear the man I love say. "I don't want you no more"
