When you see a woman with a cigarette in her hand
When you see a woman with a cigarette in her hand
She'll misuse her husband for her little kid man
Take me out of this bottom, before the high water rise
Take me out of this bottom, before the high water rise
You know I ain't no Christian, and I don't wanta be baptized
I've cried, "Lord, my Father, Lord, our kingdom come."
I've cried, "Lord, my Father, Lord, our kingdom come."
"Send me back my woman, then my will be done."
I never been to Heaven, people, but I've been told
I never been to Heaven, people, but I've been toldOh Lord,
it's womens up there got their mouths chock full of gold
I'm gonna build me a Heaven, have a kingdom of my own
Gonna build me a Heaven have a kingdom of my own
So these brownskin women can cluster around my throne
