Aah ha ha, what's the matter with my man today
Aah ha ha, what's the matter with my man today
I ask him if he love me, Lord and he walked away
Penitentiary penitentiary, oh is going to be my home
Penitentiary penitentiary, oh is going to be my home
Because my man he mistreated me, Lord he have done me wrong
The man that I'm a-loving, Lord he going get me k**ed
The man that I'm a-loving, Lord he going get me k**ed
Because love is a proposition, that's got many a poor girl k**ed
I'll love you a minute, oh but you won't behave
I'll love you a minute, oh but you won't behave
You going to keep on a-palling, you going to wake up in your grave
