Hey momma don't you leave me

Hey momma don't you go

Hey momma can't you see

I'm a lonely man a long way from home

Hey momma take it easy

Like Juliette and Romeo

Hey momma don't you leave

I'm a lonely man a long way from home

I got money in my pocket

And a suitcase in my hand

I got a key so I can lock it

'Cos I'm a cautionary man

Well you once said you needed me

But now you've laid me low

'Cos baby if you're leaving me

You'll hurt me like you don't know no, no, oh, oh
