I woke up this mornin' in a terrible mood

Now you talk about a woman treatin' a good man rude

She had me talkin' to myself gazin' at that mean ol' wall

She had another daddy waitin' down at the end of the hall



She changes with the weather like the leaves I recall

She blossoms in the spring but then she's gone in the fall

A two timin' woman with a heart of solid stone

She tells me that she loves me but her heart's a little under grown



Well, she said she'd never leave me but she got the urge to roam

She drifts around the country like a steamboat on a foam

She never changes course, she just goes along that same ol' way

And I hope she keeps a driftin' rolls along back home someday



'Cause if I ever find her, gonna chain her to the floor

And tell her, "Now sit there, woman, you ain't leavin' no more

I'm gonna tame your mama till you're eatin' from my hand

It's not that I don't love you, honey, it's just to make you understand"



Yes, I woke up this mornin' in a terrible mood

You talk about a woman treatin' a good man rude

She had me talkin' to myself gazin' at that mean ol' wall

She had another daddy waitin' down at the end of the hall
