I'm going to the river, take a great big jump, I'm going to the river, take a great big jump, I used to be a wise man but a woman made me a chump. 2. It sure is funny how hard a man can fall, It sure is funny how hard a man can fall, When he gets to thinkin' one woman has got it all. 3. My baby throwed me out and I started walkin' down the tracks, My baby throwed me out and I started walkin' down the tracks, Then I went home and begged her to take me back. 4. She ain't no good, but I can't quit her somehow, She ain't no good, but I can't quit her somehow, I used to be a wise cat but this woman has turned me down. 5. She don't act sweet, she's the mean and naggin' kind, She don't act sweet, she's the mean and naggin' kind, She's got a quiver make a drunk man lose his mind. 6. I'm going to the river, take a great big jump, I'm going to the river, take a great big jump, I used to be a wise man but a woman made me a chump. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- c0w %).3:#',16
