And I don't drink whiskey, but I'm crazy 'bout my gal(?)
It is 1928 an' it must be a brand-new year(?)
And it's my yard; take me to your back door
If the time get rough, I ain't gon' make it there no more
An' I'm goin' downtown, gon' stay right there till dark
You don't like my treatments, you can make you another start
An' I'm settin' right here now, look straight in your face
If you're goin' to ..., well, it's time for you to make haste
Now when you lay down at night, lay down early; try to take your rest
You'll get a couple ... : wake up ... to try to do your best
Now what make I know that my good gal like me so
'Cause she takes her time; she do work ev'rywhere she goes
