Be My Woman lyrics

Be my woman, girl, I'll be your man
Be my woman, and I'll be your man
Be my woman, girl, I'll be your man
Now don't you know, every day is Sunday
And a dollar in your hand
Say, in your hand, mama, yeah, in your hand, I declare now
Every day is Sunday, gonna get a dollar in your hand

Be my woman, child, I'm gonna be your man
Yeah, be my woman, I'm gonna be your man
Just be my woman, and I'm gonna be your man
Now don't ya know, every day is Sunday
You got a dollar in your hand
In your hand, sugar, square in your hand, I declare now
Every day is Sunday, you got a dollar in your hand

Now you go down to Memphis and you wear your fancy clothes
Yes, you go down to Memphis wearin' all them fancy clothes
You go down to Memphis in your Sunday go-to-meetin' clothes
Now, I go down in overalls and play them dicin' holes
Them dicin' holes, buddy, mean dicin' holes, I declare now
I go in overalls, playin' them dicin' holes

Well, when you get to Memphis, don't you dare to hang around
Yeah, when you hit that city don't you dare to hang around
No, when you go to Memphis, don't you dare to hang around
Well now, Sheriff Stone gonna stop you, then you're workhouse bound
It's workhouse bound, yeah, mean workhouse bound, I declare now
Sheriff Stone gonna stop you, and it's workhouse bound
You know, the prettiest train that I ever done seen
Yeah, the prettiest train that I ever done seen
Yeah, the prettiest train that I ever done seen
It run from Jackson down to New Orleans
It's New Orleans, yeah, whoa, New Orleans, I declare now
It run from Jackson to New Orleans

You know, the finest woman that I ever done seen
Yeah, the finest woman that I ever done seen
The finest woman I ever done seen
Well, I left her on a corner down in Bowling Green
And it's Bowling Green, buddy, yes, Bowling Green, I declare now
I left her on a corner down in Bowling Green

And I said, be my woman, I'm gonna be your man
Just be my woman, girl, I'm gonna be your man
Whoa now, if you be my woman, I'm gonna be your man
Every day gonna be Sunday, got a dollar in your pretty hand
Every day is Sunday, you got a dollar in your pretty hand, yeah
I don't make much money, baby, but I try to do the best I can
Every day is Sunday, you got a dollar in your pretty hand
