Been shooting craps and gambling, mama, and I done got broke
Been shooting craps and gambling, mama, and I done got broke
I done pawned my pistol, baby, my best clothes been sold

I ain't crying for no religion, Lord, give me back my good girl please
If you give me back my baby, I won't worry you no more

Don't have to put her in my house, Lordy, just lead her to my door
Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lord,
Lordy, Lord
Can't you hear me, baby, rappin' on your door?

Feel like a broke down engine, ain't got no whistle or bell
