I been lookin for my old man
I can’t find him nowhere
I think I’ll go Chicago
And look around over there

If I can’t find him
Go back on the river and sit right down
That man keep a worryin’ poor me
I’m gonna jump overboard and drown

My man, he come sit down
He come sit down right beside me
He said: “Would be good, Mama
If you just come with me”

And I go with my baby
What man like a woman with a sassy child
I won’t have to ask him no questions
Man, because he knows the reason why

I feel so disgusted
I don’t know what to do
I think I’ll go uptown
Try to find me somethin’ new

Meet a man with a Cadillac
Whoah man, and plenty money too
I won’t have to wake up
Early in the mornin’
‘Cause I won’t have nothin’
In the world to do
