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
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
