Now my old heart is ticking, just like a clock up on the wall Now my old heart is ticking, just like a clock up on the wall Says I tried to be good, but my woman treats me like a dog Now I've got my name written, right on my right arm Now I've got my name written, right on my right arm Every time I want to leave, I know she's got to come back home Now you said that you loved me, what make you treat me so unkind Now you said that you loved me, what make you treat me so unkind You just old hard-headed woman, but I believe you about to lose your mind Now you can tell your kid-man, he needn't take it so doggone hard Now you can tell your kid-man, he needn't take it so doggone hard Because if he messes with me, going to crack him right on his nog Now that's all I got to say mama, I ain't going to let you worry my mind Now that's all I got to say mama, I ain't going to let you worry my mind When I go away to leave you, I will stop by to see you sometime
