Lucy done gone back on me,
    Dat`s de way wif life.
  Evaht`ing was movin` free,
    T`ought I had my wife.
  Den some dahky comes along,
  Sings my gal a little song,
  Since den, evaht`ing`s gone wrong,
    Evah day dey `s strife.

  Did n`t answeh me to-day,
    Wen I called huh name,
  Would you t`ink she `d ac` dat way
    Wen I ain`t to blame?
  Dat `s de way dese women do,
  Wen dey fin`s a fellow true,
  Den dey `buse him thoo an` thoo;
    Well, hit `s all de same.

  Somep`n`s wrong erbout my lung,
    An` I `s glad hit `s so.
  Doctah says `at I `ll die young,
    Well, I wants to go!
  Whut `s de use o` livin` hyeah,
  Wen de gal you loves so deah,
  Goes back on you clean an` cleah--
    I sh`d like to know?
